A Montgomery-based manufacturer that supplies auto parts has donated 12,000 face masks to two in-state healthcare providers.
Mobis Alabama is giving 10,000 masks to the Montgomery County Emergency Management Agency and 2,000 to the East Alabama Medical Center.
Mobis was incorporated in 2002 and supplies parts to the Hyundai plant in Montgomery, as well as the Kia plant in West Georgia.
“Many in our community are suffering from this pandemic, and we deeply appreciate the healthcare workers, first responders, and volunteers who are bravely serving on the front lines to help those who have been affected,” said Thomas Treadwell, Mobis’s General Counsel.
The company is also donating 5,000 masks to a county EMA in Georgia, where the firm has a second location.
“We want to do what we can to support them and help them perform their jobs safely. We know the EMA will deliver these resources to wherever they are most needed,” Treadwell added.
