G&K Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: GKSR) announced
today that it recently donated more than $100,000 worth of uniforms
to United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta. The donated uniforms will be
used to support education, work readiness and job training programs
in the Atlanta area that are supported by United Way.
“G&K believes in giving back to the communities where we
operate and we are pleased to support United Way and its partner
organizations in Atlanta,” said Jeffrey L. Wright, G&K’s
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “It is
terrific to see our donated uniforms being used to strengthen
critical job training programs that help provide the skills to get
Atlanta residents back in the workforce.”
“G&K is a valued partner and this generous gift will go a
long way in supporting our community to ensure families and
individuals are self-sufficient,” said United Way of Metropolitan
Atlanta President Milton J. Little, Jr. “Currently, Georgia ranks
third in the nation in poverty and our unemployment rate is well
above the national average, so we have our work cut out for us
building bridges of opportunity. This donation is a major step
toward that and we are very grateful.”
G&K Services is committed to Building Communities that Work.
One of the ways the company supports local communities is by
donating quality new and used uniforms to organizations focused on
education and human services. This donation was one of many made by
G&K over the past year to support United Way and other
charitable organizations. For more information on G&K Services’
