After their 2020 River Clean-Up Program was placed on hold, Hackensack Riverkeeper, Inc. decided to donate their 1,500   gloves for our local healthcare professionals and first responders. Captain Bill Sheehan said, “It seemed like a sin to have 1,500 exam gloves sitting in storage when they could instead be helping protect the people who truly need them.”

“We know it’s not a big amount like the piles of gear we’ve all seen being donated by large companies and universities,” continued Sheehan. “But for those close to our homes – and close to all our hearts – we’re honored to help any way we can.”

And as a County, we are grateful for the donation. Thank you! All donations, large and small, make a huge difference for those on the front lines.
