“NYSCC has witnessed heroic actions and incredible resiliency from frontline workers throughout the cities and states that are the home base for our membership and member companies,’ said Giorgino Macalino, Chairman, NYSCC.   “We are honored to provide some virus protection to these healthcare professionals and civil servants during this unprecedented time.”  

According to Albert Gehres, Deputy Commissioner, Office of Emergency Management, Suffolk County, through the generosity of NYSCC, and other organizations, their facility has been able to distribute almost 7 million PPE items to frontline healthcare and civil servant workers as well as small businesses that need protection.  

The customized hand sanitizers were manufactured by a NYSCC member company. Many member companies in the personal care and product development space either donated or switched their manufacturing process at the start of the pandemic to produce products for frontline workers.
