Mechanix Wear donates gloves
Personal protective equipment (and cash) goes to a good cause.
Valencia, Calif.-based Mechanix Wear, maker of high-performance gloves, says it will donate 10,000 gloves to Team Rubicon, an organization that serves communities by mobilizing veterans to respond to disasters and humanitarian crises.
The donation will support the non-profit’s COVID-19 response efforts including their #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors initiative.
In addition to the gloves, Mechanix Wear will donate donate $60,000 through the sales of non-medical face masks.
“We understand the importance of having PPE and the impact it can have in stopping the transmission of COVID-19, as well as the need for PPE to aid in relief efforts,” said Michael Hale, CEO at Mechanix Wear. “Our hope is that this donation will ensure Team Rubicon has the funding and the specialized equipment needed to stay safe as they continue to rebuild and restore hope in the communities that need it the most.”
