A U.S.-based charitable group called the American Chinese United Care Alliance has donated over 17,000 masks and other protective equipment to Westchester County, the Town of Greenburgh and two area hospitals. “This disease has devastated our entire world and forever changed how we interact and do business,” said ACUC board member Victoria Alberto at a press event at the county’s Department of Emergency Services warehouse in White Plains. “This virus has caused tremendous suffering–it does not respect political borders, age or health. Our members understand that only by working together, pooling our resources and knowledge can we hope stop and cure this terrible disease.”
County Executive George Latimer, in accepting the donation on behalf of the county, said: “This PPE donation will go a long way in protecting our health care heroes and preventing the spread of this virus. We are extremely grateful to the ACUC for this generous donation.”
The recipients of the donations are as follows:
- Westchester County Government – 20,000 disposable masks
· Westchester Medical Center – $6,300 cash, 100 plastic protective gowns, 400 KN95 masks, 400 gloves, 150 surgical masks, 30 N95 masks
· White Plains Hospital: $13,000 cash, 600 KN95 masks, 1,200 Surgical masks
· Town of Greenburgh: 2,000 surgical masks
