“Getting a mask is like striking gold because everybody is trying to obtain them. We are competing with first responders throughout the country, and hospitals as well. The donations of these marks are very important and very much appreciated by myself, my officers in the Northwest police division, and my captains – it’s just a fantastic gift today,” said DeShawn Beaufort, Inspector, Northwest Police Division.
Ted Millstein, Executive Vice President of Patriot Homecare, said they also plan to donate 30,000 respirator masks to hospitals and 8,000 to first responders. They also have 50,000 surgical masks reserved for their workers and the community.
“It’s more of a situation where we decided to purchase them because we wanted to give back to the community and people who keep us safe day to day,” said Millstein. “We wanted to make sure our workers and patients have them as well.”
