Area business donates masks to All Faiths Food Bank

To help employees at All Faiths Food Bank, who are hard at work ensuring community members in need are fed in the face of the coronovirus crisis, team members from Tammy's Alterations & Dry Cleaning made and donated 50 cloth masks for Food Bank staffers to wear while working at the office.

With social distancing recommendations and, now, the stay-at-home order, the Food Bank has not had access to its significant volunteer corps to assist in food sorting, packing and other tasks. At this time, employees at all levels are filling significant gaps in mission-critical operations, such as food sorting, packing, boxing and distribution, in addition to performing their regular duties. As some of these duties require staff members to be in the general vicinity of one another, the masks are helpful in protecting their health.

“We really wanted to do something for all the doctors, nurses and local organizations in need of face masks who are helping those in need in our community,” said owner Tammy Vo on behalf of herself and her staff.

Tammy's offers quality, reliable dry cleaning and laundry services as well as a suite of alteration services. The company, which is located at 2300 Bee Ridge Rd., #101 in Sarasota, also offers wedding dress preservation.
