WILCON Depot, Inc. has extended support to healthcare workers by providing protective gear and transportation as the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine continues while the country struggles to contain the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
“Through a collaboration with the Project Kaagapay: Protect our Healthcare Heroes, Wilcon has donated 16,000 personal protective equipment (PPE) and 60,000 face masks through GoNegosyo,” the home improvement and construction supply retailer said in a statement.
“The medical equipment will be distributed to different hospitals across Metro Manila that will help the brave frontline workers in minimizing the risk of exposure from the deadly virus,” it added.
Wilcon said that as the quarantine put on hold public vehicles, it donated bicycles through Go Negosyo to allow frontline workers to travel to get to work.
“The efforts of the company has already helped thousands of Filipino families and frontline workers with the initial donation of 20 million pesos to support ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation and GMA Kapuso Foundation in their programs to help provide basic medical supplies for the health and safety workers as well as supply food and basic needs to poor families whose source of living has been affected by the enhanced community quarantine,” it said.
