| WHERE: | Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank – Loading Dock One N. Linden St. Duquesne, PA | |
| WHO: | Born and raised in Pittsburgh, RPP Products CEO Eric Zwigart will deliver 250 gallons of hand sanitizer to help employees and volunteers at GPCFB, and southern Pennsylvania families and individuals living with food insecurity. Zwigart will be met by GPCFB President and Chief Executive Officer Lisa Scales who receive the donation. | |
| WHY: | With inventories dangerously low, or completely out of stock, the current lack of hand sanitizer is impacting the potential health and safety of millions of Americans during the COVID-19 global pandemic. RPP Products, a Southern California-based motor oil and lubricants company, pivoted operations in just seven days and began making FDA-approved hand sanitizer to help fill the need. The company is committed to donating hand sanitizer to homeless shelters, food banks and other vital community services across the country for as long as it’s needed and while supplies last. | |
