A hand up…not a hand out

Ministering to the needs of the disaster survivors is not a job…it’s a privilege!  Individuals and organizations have been lending a hand in the relief and recovery efforts. Russell Manufacturing has significantly helped by providing clothing to families affected by the storms and others in need. We have helped to bridge partnerships with Russell, the Jefferson County Emergency Management Agency, Adventist Community Service, Birmingham City Schools, and The Birmingham Parent Teacher Association.

1500 winter Jackets, 3,000 Polo shirts, 12,000 socks, and 2500 sweatshirts have been distributed to these families and senior citizens just in time to help during the onset of winter. These clothing items have not been a handout but have been seen as a hand up for those who literally have to replace everything they own.
