Unilever United States said it is donating supplies in the U.S.
as a lead-up to a National Day of Service scheduled for May 21.
The company on Wednesday said it is donating $8 million worth of
food, soap, personal hygiene and home-cleaning products, which will
be distributed through a national network of food banks.
Unilever is also donating over 200,000 masks to New Jersey
hospitals to help protect the lives of health care
professionals.
The company said its National Day of Service on May 21 will
provide about $12 million for Americans in need. On that day, the
company said, "Every essential item produced by Unilever employees
at its network of 14 U.S. factories that day or products of equal
value will be donated and delivered to its community partners to
provide to those most in need." The company also said its employees
will be encouraged to "dedicate this day to volunteer opportunities
that provide hygiene products, food, services and hope to those
impacted by the crisis."
Unilever United States said its efforts are part of parent
company Unilever NV's global efforts to assist those affected by
the Covid-19 outbreak.
