Shield America’s Heroes by LG Protective Wearables
Donation protected
Summary:
In a collaborative effort between LG Protective Wearables, DonatePPE.org, The Covid Foundation, a New York City based plastics manufacturer, & Russell Grodin of A&R Sports, we have proudly set up a production and distribution channel to donate face shields to hospitals across America for only $5 per shield (including delivery).
In addition to being a cost effective solution, this project also supports a 50+ year old, family-owned factory in New York City that can produce and ship over 20,000 face shields a week.
All we need is your help funding production costs!
The Plan:
For every $1,000 this campaign receives, we will contact, produce, and ship 200 face shields to one of the thousands of hospital administrators who have registered with dontatePPE.org. If you are a hospital or administrator in need of face shields please contact [email redacted] to be added to the list. In most cases, hospitals will receive their face shield delivery within 7-10 days of being contacted.
To keep everyone up to date on our progress, each week we will post a list of hospitals who have been sent 200 face shields. We will also request to receive pictures, or written documentation from hospital administrators showing that they received their shipment of face shields, along with any other information they would like share with us and our generous donors.
Thank you very much for your support and generosity as we all work together to end this shortage!
