MONTREAL, Sept. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Coalision Inc., the Montreal-based parent company of performance activewear apparel brands Lolë and Paradox announced today it is donating thousands of new clothing items to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey and Irma, which struck communities in the United States and caused widespread damage and destruction.
Coalision has partnered with non-profit organization, Delivering Good (formerly K.I.D.S./Fashion Delivers) to donate a full truckload of new clothing including rainwear, thermal pants, and shirts, which has already been received in San Antonio for immediate distribution in Houston, one of the areas hit the hardest by the devastating hurricane.
