Jacksonville, FL (December 21, 2010) During winter break, high school and college students are invited to volunteer at Dignity U Wear along with players from the Jacksonville Giants.

Youth Week will be held from December 27 th -December 30th and will include food, music, prizes and fun. There will be both a morning and afternoon shift and a lunch break that will give students from different schools and opportunity to socialize.

"This is a great way for students to earn the community service hours they need to graduate and is a meaningful way to spend time during winter break," said Bob Bryan, Executive Director of Dignity U Wear. "We are pleased to be partnering with the Jacksonville Giants to promote the importance of giving back to youth in our local community."

Students will be working in the Dignity U Wear warehouse, sorting and processing brand new clothes that will ultimately be distributed to people in need all over the United States. Students interested in Youth Week should contact 904-636-9455 to RSVP.

The mission of Dignity U Wear is to positively impact the lives of children and their families in need by providing brand new clothing at no cost to the recipients. Dignity partners with the apparel industry to provide the supply of clothing and then works through a network of social service agencies to deliver the clothing based on specified needs. Founded in 2000, the organization has provided more than 6.6 million pieces, valued at $120 million, to more than 450,000 people.
