We are so excited to announce that we have officially reached our goal to donate 100,000 masks to those in need by June 1st!! We want to thank everyone who helped us make such a significant impact on so many communities throughout the struggles of this pandemic!!

Our final shipment of masks will be donated to the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, Alabama Prisons, and several New York and Pittsburgh organizations!!

As a team, we have learned so much about the value of helping others in difficult times!! We were so fortunate to build connections and relationships with many organizations in our local communities and throughout the US!! Thank you again to those who donated and those who continue to serve our communities each and every day!!
