Tens of thousands of Americans donate clothing each year during the holiday season to benefit people in need. They do not expect their goodwill to get noticed by the press.
Rubenstein Public Relations thinks otherwise. It put out a press release to get some ink about its drive to donate coats and other winter items to benefit the Salvation Army’s Greater New York division.
“We are committed to supporting the city and region where we live and work and are pleased to play a small role in helping New Yorkers in need,” said CEO Richard Rubenstein in the release.
Rubenstein Public Relations also “recently delivered doughnuts to EMS workers at six stations throughout Manhattan to express gratitude for their daily sacrifices,” according to the Jan. 16 release.
There is no word whether coffee accompanied those doughnuts.
