TekCollect Collaborates with Neighborhood Services, Inc. of Columbus for Corporate Drive

Columbus, Ohio – TekCollect has partnered with Neighborhood Services, Inc. of Columbus to conduct a large corporate clothing drive this past month.

The drive was held for two weeks in October as part of a larger effort to collect clothing for a variety of philanthropic organizations. TekCollect segmented a portion of the drive specifically to collect children’s clothing and shoes, as well as adult men and women’s clothing. Neighborhood Services, Inc. was chosen as the local recipient for the donations, as they exist in the effort to alleviate poverty and provides food services, and material assistance to persons in need in the Columbus community.

TekCollect’s collection efforts included 520 clothing items and pairs of shoes.

“TekCollect chose to partner with Neighborhood Services, Inc. because our staff felt strongly that collected clothing should be distributed freely to local community members and families in need, rather than resold or sent out of town,” said Ron Douglas, Executive Vice President for TekCollect. “We are pleased to add Neighborhood Services, Inc. to our community partners, and look forward to more opportunities to work with them as they serve our city.”

Martin Butler, Executive Director for Neighborhood Services, Inc., said, “We are grateful to the TekCollect team for their focus on people in need in our community. So far this year, NSI have distributed 4,810 families a seven day supply of food. And have had 371 families use our clothing room. Without the generous support of businesses like TekCollect, we would not be able to help the most vulnerable in our community.”
