In response to the catastrophic floods that struck Texas during the Fourth of July 2025 weekend, Alsco Uniforms has stepped forward with a significant donation aimed at aiding the affected communities. The company has pledged $25,000 to The Salvation Army and is also providing 500 personal first aid kits. These contributions are intended to support both immediate relief efforts and the long-term recovery of the areas devastated by the floods, which claimed over 100 lives and caused widespread destruction.
The floods, particularly severe along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, not only resulted in tragic loss of life but also destroyed homes and businesses, leaving many families in dire need of assistance. Alsco Uniforms, with its nine laundry facilities across Texas, has a deep connection to the state and its communities. Bob Steiner, CEO of Alsco Uniforms, emphasized the company's commitment to giving back to the state that has supported its business for decades.
The Salvation Army has been at the forefront of the relief efforts, deploying mobile kitchens and rapid response units to deliver essential supplies such as food, beverages, and clothing to those impacted. The donation from Alsco Uniforms will enhance these efforts by enabling the provision of first aid and funding recovery projects. Anthony Wessels, a local General Manager for Alsco Uniforms, shared his personal connection to the disaster and his gratitude towards the company for its supportive response.
This act of corporate philanthropy highlights the importance of community support in the aftermath of natural disasters. It underscores the role businesses can play in aiding recovery efforts and the difference such contributions can make in the lives of those affected. The partnership between Alsco Uniforms and The Salvation Army serves as a model for how corporations and non-profit organizations can collaborate to address the urgent needs of communities in crisis.
