Marlboro PD Receives Donation Of 250 Face Masks

MARLBORO, NJ – As a way to give back to those working on the front lines during the coronavirus pandemic, community members and local storefronts have donated food and personal protective equipment (PPE) to police departments across the country.

On Wednesday, 250 N95 masks were received by the Marlboro Township Police Department. The masks were donated by Lowe’s Home Improvement of Marlboro.

A photo was posted to social media to thank the establishment for its generosity.

“A HUGE thank you to Lowe’s Home Improvement of Marlboro who graciously donated 250 N95 masks to help keep our officers safe,” the Marlboro Township Police Department wrote in a June 1 Facebook post. “The bond our Police Department shares with both our businesses and our residents is unbreakable and only strengthens our commitment to serve our fine community.”

Lowe's the latest name to offer donations to the police department as dozens of local residents and establishments have offered donations of food, services and PPE in the last few months. Other recent donors include Keller Williams Realty, Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC), Marlboro MVP Softball, the Marlboro Diner, Monmouth Worship Center, Smoothie King and NJ Spine and Wellness.

"We are very grateful for the support and donations that are constantly being offered to our Department," Marlboro Police wrote in another post of gratitude to thank the "countless number of residents who have all donated either their time, services or products to support the front line workers of their community."

"They are a true example of what it means to be 'Community First'".
