Radians Partners with Local Council to Donate Winter Jackets to the Homeless

Radians Donates Winter Jackets to Help Memphians in Need

As the winter chill sets in, Radians®, a prominent manufacturer of personal protective equipment (PPE), is making a significant impact in Memphis by donating over $60,000 in winter jackets. Collaborating with the St. Patrick Parish Pastoral Council, this initiative focuses on assisting those in the community who are most vulnerable to the harsh conditions of winter, primarily individuals living without permanent shelter.

The Mission of Radians and St. Patrick Parish

Approximately 80% of those served by the St. Patrick Catholic Church do not have permanent housing. With temperatures dropping, these individuals are at a heightened risk of life-threatening conditions such as hypothermia and frostbite.

Mike Tutor, the CEO of Radians, emphasized the importance of providing adequate warmth during these critical times. "Without access to adequate shelter or warm clothing, even a single night outdoors can become life-threatening," he said. Radians’ substantial contribution in the form of winter jackets is a beacon of hope for many in Memphis who face such dire circumstances.

Community Involvement

Volunteers at the St. Patrick Catholic Church are at the forefront of this effort, working diligently to sort, box, and distribute the jackets along with other essential items. Their commitment to providing warmth and comfort to the homeless during the holiday season is crucial. The partnership between Radians and the church exemplifies how corporate responsibility can lead to tangible benefits for those in need.

For community members looking to contribute, the St. Patrick's Parish extends an invitation to get involved either through volunteering or donations. More information can be found on their official website or by contacting them directly.
