Tis the season for giving and keeping people safe and warm

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Radians®, a leading Memphis-based manufacturer of safety products, supports St. Patrick's commitment to the homeless in Memphis.

To show its support, Radians recently donated cash, jackets, and gloves, to help Memphians who are facing challenging circumstances this holiday season. "We recognize the connection between workplace safety and the well-being of the broader community," said Radians CEO, Mike Tutor. "We believe in using our resources to create positive change."

Radians gives funds to the St. Patrick Food Pantry for feeding Memphians in need during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Each basket includes a turkey and all the fixings for a traditional holiday meal.

Reflective jackets and rain coats from Radians help Memphians stay safe and warm this holiday season.

Gene Mangiante, board president of Saint Patrick Community Outreach Center, expressed his gratitude for Radians' commitment in a thank you note that said, "The generosity of Radians has exceeded all our hopes and dreams to make those in need comfortable this holiday season."

According to Mangiante, about 80% of those served by the St. Patrick Food Pantry are homeless, living on the street, "so the reflective jackets and rain coats will keep them safe and warm," said Mangiante. "Plus, the generous funds provided by Radians allowed us to feed hundreds of homeless people with a traditional holiday meal. To make it through the holiday season and winter, we still need more donations of food, backpacks, toiletries, and blankets to help protect vulnerable community members," he said.
