Flatten The Curve Donates 29 Crates Worth of Supplies to Los Angeles Fire and Police Stations to Assist in Stopping COVID-19 - Press Room
Flatten The Curve Pairs with Councilmember Koretz’s Director of Public Safety, Gregory Martayan to Donate 29 Crates of Disinfectant Supplies Directly to First Responders
March 30, 2020 Los Angeles, CA - Flatten The Curve NGO is servicing Los Angeles Fire and Police Departments with much needed medical grade masks, gloves and disinfectant supplies to combat and prevent the further spread of COVID-19.
Following his experience providing disaster relief after Hurricane Dorian ravaged the Bahamas in 2019, Flatten the Curve Founder Adam Rider understands that while the community requires essential government departments to continue to operate at well above normal capacity, it is equally important to ensure that the firemen and officers themselves are properly protected at all times to prevent further infections. FTC-NGO does so by providing medical grade masks, gloves, gowns and disinfectant supplies directly to individual divisions.
To date, Flatten the Curve has worked closely with Los Angeles’ Director of Public Safety, Gregory Martayan to collect 29 crates, worth 1,080 gallons of disinfectant pods and towels. A large portion of supplies were donated also by Eline and Leon Gendelman of American Warehouse. The items have now been safely distributed to local Los Angeles Police and Fire Stations.
“Thank you to Adam Rider and Flatten the Curve NGO for your work in serving the first responders of the City. You are part of history and we recognize your commitment and unwavering work. Adam is a great example of the Angeleno spirit, let’s keep up the amazing momentum of service. Thank you to all.” - Councilmember Koretz’s Los Angeles’ Director of Public Safety, Gregory Martayan
Individuals or families in the greater Los Angeles area that are currently infected or experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 can request assistance by texting (888) 492-4987 or emailing info@ftcngo.org. If a household requires assistance but is located outside of the current service area, FTC-NGO invites them to still contact and the organization will do its best to accommodate.
While Flatten The Curve is currently a pending 501-3c organization, it still appreciates and relies greatly on donations from supporters to cover the costs of purchasing medical supplies and transportation. Those who would like to donate their time, supplies and/or financially can visit www.ftcngo.org for more information.
FLATTEN THE CURVE
Flatten The Curve combats the further spread of COVID-19 by donating proper preventive tools such as medical grade masks, gloves, and disinfectants to essential first responders, primarily the Los Angeles police and fire departments. By ensuring these departments maintain a surplus of supplies, they may continue to perform their duties safely while lessening the risk of contracting and spreading the novel coronavirus. FTC also provides similar care packages which include non perishable foods to households currently infected by and/or experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 thus giving them the proper tools to shelter in place and self-quarantine.
