PCI Creative Group Donates 2,000 Face Masks to Person-to-Person

PCI Creative Group in Stamford has donated 2,000 facemasks to Person-to-Person (P2P) in support of their response to the COVID-19 crisis. P2P provides food, emergency financial assistance, and casework services to lower Fairfield County residents through their three locations in Darien, Norwalk and Stamford.

“When we found ourselves with a large amount of reusable cloth face masks, we immediately thought of Person-to-Person as an organization that could make good use of this quantity of masks for their clients and staff,” said Anne Chiapetta, co-owner of PCI Creative Group.

PCI Creative Group works with many non-profit organizations and is a cross-media marketing company located in Stamford. As an extension of their promotional items business, they have been providing PPE kits for many corporations and found themselves with a large overage of masks from one of their manufacturers. Mary Ferrara, and Anne and Frank Chiapetta, co-owners of the business, and long-time Darien residents, are happy they are able to give back to the community.

Person-to-Person has been at the forefront of meeting the increased need for basic assistance brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. At onset of the crisis in mid-March, P2P, who served nearly 25,000 individuals in 2019, quickly ramped up operations to prepare to help additional local families impacted by sudden job loss. Requests for food assistance at P2P are up 70% over the same time last year, and requests for emergency financial assistance have grown by over 300%.

The donation of masks is welcome as P2P’s staff and volunteers have remained on the frontlines, serving individuals throughout the crisis. “The masks are so appreciated. They are particularly useful for us to distribute to the families we serve who are in need of masks, and for our staff members and volunteers who are putting in extra hours to make sure our clients’ needs are being met,” said CEO Nancy Coughlin.
