263,000 face masks manufactured in Clarksville, Arkansas, will
be distributed to organizations throughout the state in response to
the COVID-19 pandemic
Committed to doing its part to help during the COVID-19
pandemic, Hanes Hosiery has donated 263,000 seamless face masks
produced in Clarksville, Arkansas, to the Arkansas Division of
Emergency Management.
The division, which provides efficient resources in response to
emergencies and disasters impacting the region, will distribute the
face masks to the Arkansas Department of Health and Department of
Education, and to other local organizations providing aid to
residents and essential workers during the pandemic.
“In true Arkansas spirit, Hanes responded to the needs of its
neighbors, and people all over the nation have benefited from
personal protective equipment manufactured in Arkansas,” said
Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson. “With this generous donation of
masks to our Division of Emergency Management, even more Arkansans
will benefit. Thank you, Hanes, for this significant contribution
to the fight against COVID-19.”
Hanes lightweight two-ply stretch-to-fit masks were introduced
to consumers and business-to-business customers in June. Available
on Hanes.com, in HanesBrands outlet stores and on leading retailer
sites including Macys.com, the face masks feature a seamless design
with comfort ear loops and soft, breathable, moisture-wicking
fabric. The washable and reusable face masks are available in a
six-count package in six colors, including aluminum, royal blue,
black, white, blossom and a newly released color, port.
HanesBrands, the parent company of Hanes Hosiery and the world’s
largest basic apparel manufacturer, began helping to fight the
spread of COVID-19 in March by converting production of apparel to
production of personal protective garments, including face masks
and medical gowns.
“Our dedicated employees were integral in designing this face
mask and helping us quickly pivot to large-scale production to meet
an important need during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Jill King,
general manager of hosiery for HanesBrands. “On behalf of our
Arkansas-based employees, we are incredibly proud to support the
communities where our team lives and works.”
