Community Involvement In New Jersey

At American Wear, community involvement is about more than just running a charity 5k every year. To us, community involvement is a way of life. We eat, sleep and work in our service area, and we have been dedicated to our employees, our customers and our cities since we were founded in 1951.

That’s why we hire local. We want to strengthen our local business community not only by providing outstanding uniforms and facility services, but also by creating jobs for the people who share our roads, our favorite restaurants, our grocery stores and our parks. We’ve been supported for so many years by our loyal customers, and providing stable and valuable employment options for our community is just one way for us all to grow together.

We also partner with several local programs and organizations:

East Orange PAL Boxing Program

The East Orange PAL Boxing Program serves as an intervention /prevention program for youth which uses the sport of amateur boxing as an alternative to anti-social behavior. Through the re-establishment of the extended family, the East Orange PAL provides youth with the opportunity to become successful in all walks of life.

Outpost in the Burbs

We support this non-profit outreach organization that is dedicated to building community through music, community service, and cultural programs. Providing coats for those in need is one way of giving back to our community via a joint project with Outpost in the Burbs. We use our resources and knowledge in the garment industry to collect and deliver new and gently used coats to people in need. With our facility located in an urban enterprise zone in East Orange, NJ, we’re committed to promoting our local economy and revitalizing our urban communities. That’s why we support Outpost in the Burbs.

Seton Hall University Center for Entrepreneurial Studies

This center was created in 2006 to raise student awareness of self-employment as a career option. This organization prepares students for careers in the 21st century by acknowledging the growing importance of entrepreneurship in the U.S. and the global economy. John Auriemma of American Wear was an original Board member and served as the Center Board Chairman.

We’re Better Together

American Wear is built on experience, family values, community, and the desire to provide the best uniform and facility services possible to the businesses in our service area. It’s simple: one of the best ways to strengthen the community is to work with local vendors like American Wear. So, partner with us today and let’s build a brighter future!
