Hanesbrands donates backpacks to foster children

This past week, Hanesbrands Customer Service Managers Telesia Dubose and Paula Shumate provided and delivered 126 new book bags for children in the custody of the Forsyth County Department of Social Services.

“As a new school year is scheduled to begin, this partnership with Hanesbrand will allow children to return to school with a major component for academic success,” said DSS Family and Children’s Services Director John Thacker.

In the past, Hanesbrands has supported children in foster care by donating duffle bags and underwear and also sponsoring them at Christmas.
