Harbor Freight to donate N95 masks, nitrile gloves etc

HARBOR FREIGHT
Dear Harbor Freight Community,

As we’ve been following the news over the last few days, we’ve heard about the severe shortage of protective gear for hospitals, healthcare workers and first responders as the impact of COVID-19 is being felt across the country. America depends on these heroes every day and in the days ahead we will depend on them even more. At Harbor Freight, we want them to know that they can depend on us too.

So we’ve decided to donate our entire supply of the personal protective equipment items listed below to front line hospitals with 24 hour emergency rooms in the communities served by our stores.

• N95 Masks
• Face Shields
• 5 and 7 mil Nitrile Gloves

If you work at a hospital with a 24 hour emergency room in need of these items, please ask the office in charge of procurement at your hospital to click here so they can provide us with the information we’ll need to determine if we can make a donation. If you’re not with a hospital, but would like to give us the name of a hospital with a 24 hour emergency room in your community that might need our help, please email us at hospitalhelp@harborfreight.com, identify the hospital’s city and state in the subject line, and our team will follow-up.

Note: I do not work for Harbor Freight. I am forwarding this in case there are any healthcare workers in the DU community.

Do not give them to Trump. Trump is using withholding supplies as threats to blue states. Freethinker65 Mar 2020 #2
According to the article the supplies are going directly to 24 hour emergencies. MagickMuffin Mar 2020 #5

An N-95 is a respirator. Those "dust masks" probably have very little use to a health care worker. I know that the items look alike but from a distance, so do a Mercedes and a Kia.

Lowe's is also stepping up.

Calling on Home Depot to do the same.
