😷 Free Supplies Available – First Come, First Serve! 🙌
Smuckers has approximately 8,000 brand new disposable masks (still in boxes) and 1 case of unused hairnets (about 400 total) available—first come, first serve! These items were leftover from COVID and cannot be used at their facility, but we’d love to see them benefit someone else.
After donating over 10,000 masks to local medical offices and Edgewood Heights, they still have a large surplus. Rather than send them to recycling, they’d prefer to donate them to schools, nonprofits, churches, or community groups who could use them.
📦 Interested or know someone who might be?
Please contact Michael McSparrin, HR Manager at The J.M. Smucker Co.
📞 Call: 814-973-7481
Let’s make sure these supplies go to good use! 💛
