SFW Construction Donates (120) Respirator Masks
SFW Construction urges all Oregon and Washington construction and paint contractors to donate any respirator masks you may have in storage. Our medical and first responder personnel are working on the front lines of the COVID-19 Pandemic. They need us to come together and do what we can for the safety of our friends and family in need.
Today, we checked all of our storage facilities and trailers. We found (120) 3M Particulate Respirator Masks, used on our lead paint removal projects. We are donating them to the Multnomah County Headquarters today. We understand (120) masks are just a drop in the bucket of what is needed but are willing to part with this personal protective equipment to help our community’s healthcare professionals and first responders.
It’s very heartwarming to see our community come together and fight this virus. Thank you to all the medical professionals and first responders putting their lives at risk in this challenging time.
