Federal has a rich tradition of giving back to the community. In this time of crisis called the COVID-19 pandemic, the ammunition manufacturer is stepping up to help.
Federal delivered two cases (100 masks each) to two local hospitals: Mercy Hospital and Cambridge Medical Center, both near Federal’s Anoka, Minnesota Facility. Federal says both hospitals were appreciative for the donations.
Hospitals are receiving donations of medical equipment that is in short supply: masks, face shields, etc. Facilities are receiving donations, but most of the donated masks are cloth masks. Cloth masks are not regulated as surgical masks. However, N-95 respirator masks are FDA approved and regulated by the CDC for health care personnel during procedures to protect both the patient and health care personnel.
Federal says it will donate more N95 masks from its factory to local hospitals this week.
