Alsco Uniforms has stepped forward with a significant donation to aid the victims of the recent catastrophic floods in Texas, contributing $25,000 and 500 personal first aid kits to The Salvation Army. This gesture aims to provide immediate relief and support long-term recovery efforts in the wake of the disaster that claimed over 100 lives and caused widespread destruction.
The floods, which struck during the Fourth of July weekend in 2025, particularly devastated areas along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, including the tragic loss of many young girls at the Mystic summer camp. The disaster has prompted a unified response from local and national organizations to assist the affected communities.
Bob Steiner, CEO of Alsco Uniforms, expressed the company's deep connection to Texas, where it operates nine laundry facilities. "Texas has supported our business for decades, and we want to be there for the community," Steiner said, underscoring the company's commitment to giving back in times of need.
The Salvation Army is at the forefront of the relief efforts, utilizing mobile kitchens and rapid response units to deliver essential supplies such as food, beverages, and clothing to those impacted. The donations from Alsco Uniforms will enhance these efforts by providing first aid supplies and funding for recovery projects.
Anthony Wessels, a local general manager for Alsco Uniforms, shared his personal connection to the disaster, stating, "My neighbors, friends, and family have all been affected by this disaster, and I'm thankful I work for a company that can help give back in this time of need."
This initiative by Alsco Uniforms not only addresses the immediate needs of flood victims but also exemplifies how businesses can play a pivotal role in disaster recovery and community support.
