LB&B Donates Supplies to UNC Hospital
LB&B has worked hard to ensure the safety of our essential employees during COVID, including procuring hand sanitizer, gloves, disinfectant supplies and masks. LB&B’s VP Commercial Services Graham Thompson was in constant communication with Project Managers Michael Abner, Paul Cline and Barry Lee to share these resources to protect employees involved in essential operations.
We worked with distillers and transportation suppliers to acquire hand sanitizer as long as it was not competing with first responders, hospitals and nursing homes and took the initiative to produce homemade hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes at some sites.
When we heard that an LB&B employee’s daughter was exposed to a patient that tested positive for COVID while working at UNC Hospital, we felt compelled to help. The same week that she finished quarantining, LB&B received a shipment of hand sanitizer, gloves and masks. LB&B had sufficient stock so we donated the supplies to UNC Hospital. Her daughter returned to work to hear how thankful the nurses were to receive these hard-to-find supplies, including N95 masks.
LB&B is proud to do its part to assist the safety of essential and frontline workers at LB&B and beyond.
