Ware2Go Partners with 1M Masks to Deliver Free PPE to Healthcare Workers
14 Avril 2020 - 3:00PM
Ware2Go, a UPS (NYSE:UPS) company that helps merchants
simplify fast delivery to customers, is partnering with 1M Masks, a
New York City grassroots initiative, to ship one million medical
masks to healthcare workers, quickly and at no cost.
Ware2Go is donating its logistics technology, network of
warehouses, and fulfillment and shipping services to allow medical
providers to order free personal protective equipment (PPE) from
the 1M Masks website. Ware2Go connected the 1M Masks website to its
platform so healthcare professionals can quickly and easily place
orders and receive free PPE, reducing the friction of getting the
gear they need. Within a week, the Ware2Go enabled e-commerce
ordering process started shipping much-needed supplies to frontline
healthcare workers and can ship PPE across the nation.
“Ware2Go is happy to support healthcare professionals who are
going above and beyond for our communities,” said Ware2Go CEO Steve
Denton, who spent 20 years living in New York. “We’re trying to
make it easy for them to get the equipment they need so they can
focus their efforts on helping the patients who need their
attention.”
Shafqat Islam created 1M Masks after receiving messages from
parents at his daughter’s school about medical professionals at
major New York City hospitals sending out alerts that they were
days away from running out of PPE. Islam worked with a team of
volunteers and partners at NewsCred to scale the initiative. They
reached out to a handful of other New York City area startups and
investors and within 24 hours had secured hundreds of thousands of
dollars in donations.
“Healthcare workers around the world are making the ultimate
sacrifice,” said Islam, 1M Masks founder and NewsCred CEO. “We owe
it to the doctors and nurses on the frontline to help them, and
with the help of our wonderful partners, we are making it
happen."
Ware2Go warehouse partner Transformco is also helping out by
donating the labor costs at its Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania,
warehouse to support the relief effort.
With the launch of its website, 1M Masks now accepts online
orders from healthcare workers. New York City is the initial focus
for 1M Masks, but the organization plans to extend assistance as
far as its funding will allow. The delivery of PPE to frontline
healthcare workers via 1M Masks will continue as long as resources
are available to fill requests. Companies or individuals interested
in donating to the cause can do so at the 1M Masks
website.
