La Familia de Broward Una herramienta útil para las necesidades de las familias hispanas
In communities across the country, Bank of America has been working with local partners to provide resources to vulnerable and underserved communities hardest hit by the coronavirus. Florida experienced a surge in the number of coronavirus cases this summer, and in South Florida, Bank of America is partnering with 16 nonprofits to provide personal protective equipment, specifically 340,000 masks.
This donation is part of a nationwide effort by Bank of America to immediately distribute nearly four million PPE masks to communities disproportionally impacted by the coronavirus, including communities of color, and is connected to its $1 billion, four-year commitment of additional support to help local communities address economic and racial inequality accelerated by a global pandemic. This is in addition to the four million masks the company donated earlier this year in cities across the country.
“The health and safety of our employees, clients and communities remain our top priority during this health and humanitarian crisis,” said Lori Chevy, Fort Lauderdale market president for Bank of America. “One of the ways we continue to do this is by working with local partners to identify and distribute PPE masks to the most vulnerable populations, such as to neighborhoods with poor air quality, low-to-moderate income families unable to acquire proper masks, and communities of color in addition to frontline workers, schools and health centers serving these communities.”
In Miami, 200,000 masks will be distributed amongst Chapman Enterprises, United Way, Camillus House and The Martin Luther King Economic Development Corporation. In Broward, 110,000 masks will be supplied to eleven nonprofits including, Junior Achievement of South Florida, Urban League of Broward County, and Hispanic Unity. While in Palm Beach 30,000 masks will be donated to Clinics can Help/United Way of Palm Beach County.
