Your institution will receive 50,000 masks
As an e-commerce company, the company can continue to operate almost without restrictions, and the current crisis has not affected it so badly. However, many other companies were not granted this fortunate situation. “It is therefore important to us to get involved and give something back to the general public in the form of a mask donation,” says Allen Krief.

The organizers distribute a total of 250,000 face masks to five institutions with increased needs. Each of them receives 50,000 masks.
