MR Magazine, a publication for professionals in menswear and apparel retail, has featured Dignity U Wear in their August issue.  You can see the full article as it appears in the magazine here. “The apparel industry is our sustaining constituency,” said Dignity’s Executive Director Bob Bryan.  “This is ideal public relations for us, and will help us with clothing donations.”

Malcolm Robinson, Group President for Wholesale Sportswear at PVH and a member of the Dignity Board of Directors is quoted discussing Dignity’s strategic direction for the article.  “Weʼre now creating a fundraising arm so we can operate like a jobber and buy goods for pennies on the dollar. Itʼs a necessary change,” he said.
