WHO WE SERVE

FIRST RESPONDERS
Our initial focus is on NYC First Responders, including FDNY, NYPD and EMS. All have announced that they are experiencing dire shortages of respirators, surgical masks, face shields and additional equipment.

ESSENTIAL WORKERS
Essential Service Workers are the backbone of the fight against COVID. Our fellow workers are experiencing PPE shortages across the board, and by protecting them, we will greatly limit the spread of COVID-19.

MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES
Senior centers, nursing homes, prisons, immigrant communities, the homeless, and marginalized areas like the South Bronx, Queensbridge Housing Projects, Elmhurst & Bensonhurst are among the hardest hit areas.

100% FDA-approved PPE
We have the ability to quickly import large volumes of FDA-approved PPE from a vetted list of suppliers who produce NIOSH-compliant equipment, eliminating the middleman.

100% Streamlined Operations
Our partnerships allow us to efficiently and effectively help from all different angles: identify hospitals with need, import large volumes of PPE, and distribute supplies to the frontlines.
Are you a licensed supplier of medical-grade PPE?
