“Many non-for-profit organizations rely heavily on the generous donations of Canadians. As the COVID-19 pandemic hit, many non-for-profits expressed the need for their services had increased due to an array of reasons such as unemployment, personal crisis and financial burdens. If there is an increase of individuals using these services, there must be proper hygiene and PPE available for workers, volunteers and individuals” said CEO & Founder, Beau Taylor. “There are so many Canadian non-for-profit organizations that donate their time and resources to help Canadian individuals. We want to give back to them and ensure we are doing our part to help combat the spread and decrease infections by using proper medical PPE.”
