Dear First Quality Team Members:
Helping our Communities
As you are well aware, the United States and the rest of the world is currently being challenged by the hardship created by Covid-19; and our first responders, healthcare workers, and charitable organizations continue to deal with this unprecedented pandemic and strain on our communities and healthcare system. First Quality’s top priorities have been the health and safety of our team members and maintaining business continuity so that we can fulfill our responsibilities to our workforce, customers, consumers and our communities. With regard to our communities, we became aware of several organizations in need of significant support to continue servicing our friends and families and we wanted to share with you some of the actions we have taken to support our fellow brothers and sisters in need of assistance and supplies.
- • We have made product donations to various organizations including the Red Cross so that they may assist those being impacted by the virus who are in need of our products;
- • We have also made financial contributions of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) as follows:
- • $1.35 million to local hospitals on the front lines of the pandemic to enable them to source the
material, resources and manpower needed to enable them to treat those in need; and - • $650,000 to local food banks so they can source the food and resources needed to ensure those in our communities have food for their families.
THE FOLLOWING IS THE LIST OF THE ORGANIZATIONS TO WHOM WE MADE DONATIONS:
These actions would not be possible without our valued team members. We want to thank all of you for your commitment and dedication to keeping the company operational so that we may play our role in the fight against this pandemic in providing financial assistance and products to our medical professionals and charitable organizations in dire need of our support.
We wish you continued good health! Warmest regards,
Your Management Team
