The Guardsmen pulled out of HanesBrands’ distribution center
near Winston-Salem carrying more than 1,280 pounds of face masks on
their six-hour journey of care to Henrico County.
Hundreds of volunteers are assisting the county and the Virginia
National Guard to assemble care packages containing washable and
reusable 3-ply all-cotton Hanes face masks to assist in the
community’s efforts to quell the spread of COVID-19. The care
packages are being distributed throughout the Memorial Day
weekend.
“We are proud to be the supplier of face masks needed by Henrico
County and transported by the Guard for the care-package program,”
said Ray Randazzo, business development director at HanesBrands.
“Just two months ago in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic, our company
pivoted our production capabilities to start making face masks for
the first time. We are now quickly helping businesses and
organizations meet their needs to reopen safely by supplying
millions of masks.”
Legacy Medical Sales and JuMP Medical Supply Co., procurement
partners for the Virginia National Guard, worked with HanesBrands
to expedite the face mask shipment in a matter of days to assure
availability for the Henrico Country event.
The Virginia National Guard is a major contributor to the
state’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Guard has collected
nearly 12,600 samples for COVID-19 testing, performed nearly 1,700
mask fit tests, distributed nearly 60,700 pounds of food and has
driven more than 49,000 miles delivering supplies and testing kits
to multiple locations across the state.
HanesBrands expects to launch sales of Hanes face masks to
consumers online and in leading retail stores within the next
several weeks. In addition, the company is supplying the U.S.
government with more than 320 million reusable cloth face coverings
and more than 20 million reusable long-sleeve medical gowns.
