DonatePPE.org has partnered with Norwex to Distribute a Million Masks to Healthcare Workers!

We're partnering with Norwegian cleaning supply company Norwex to distribute one million masks to frontline healthcare workers across the country and Canada. Their "A Million Masks. A Million Thank Yous." initiative was created to help alleviate the shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) by distributing masks to hospitals in some of the hardest-hit areas.

"Whether donating time, money or goods, charitable efforts are part of who we are, and this is our way of offering support and saying 'thank you' to our frontline medical professionals in a practical and tangible way," said Judy Letain, Global Chief Executive Officer.

Norwex is sending shipments of the donated masks directly our distribution centers so we can get them to hospitals in our database most in need. Here are some of the first shipments of the masks arriving in our NYC distribution space!

"Generous donations like the Million Masks initiative are invaluable to our cause to help healthcare heroes fight coronavirus on the ground," said our founder, Deyu Kong. "Without proper protective equipment like face masks, our doctors are at high-risk and are unable to fully protect themselves from COVID-19. Thanks to companies like Norwex, we can operate on a much larger scale and have a significantly greater impact."

The first major shipment of masks just arrived in our LA distribution center, made possible by Citizens of Humanity. Thanks to Norwex for this amazing "A Million Masks. A Million Thank Yous." initiative - it's incredible to see businesses large and small doing their part to help stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic and help frontline healthcare workers however they can.
