MINNEAPOLIS — G&K Services Inc., a provider of uniforms and facility services programs, recently donated cold weather accessories and apparel from its GKdirect® business to support People Serving People, a family-focused homeless shelter here, according to the company.
“G&K Services and our employees are proud to support organizations like People Serving People that make a positive difference in the lives of so many people in our communities,” says John Vegas, vice president of human resources. “It was incredible to deliver the products to the shelter and see firsthand the extensive resources it provides to help get individuals and families back on their feet.”
G&K says it donated one bundle of cold weather gear, including gloves, hat, scarf and a blanket, for each of the 354 guests the shelter serves on an average day. G&K’s donation also included an assortment of other merchandise from the GKdirect catalog, which People Serving People selected to meet the needs of its guests.
