GCP Applied Technologies Donates 50,000 Surgical Masks to Cambridge Hospitals

Cambridge Police & Fire Departments team up with GCP to distribute PPE masks to assist Cambridge, MA hospitals during COVID-19 crisis.

GCP Applied Technologies (NYSE:GCP), a leading global provider of construction products technologies, has donated over 50,000 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) masks to the Cambridge Fire Department, who began a drive to collect them from local businesses last week on behalf of Cambridge, Massachusetts Hospitals. 

The Cambridge Fire Department and Police Department distributed the masks to Mount Auburn Hospital and Cambridge Hospital. The masks will be used to help protect staff and patients at the hospitals, as their PPE supplies have been strained due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This is another powerful example of how the Cambridge community continues to come together for the greater good in the midst of a challenging time,” said Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui 

and City Manager Louis A. DePasquale in a joint statement. “We greatly appreciate GCP Applied Technologies for their generosity and our public safety and health care providers for their ongoing resiliency and selfless commitment to mitigating and slowing the pandemic.”

“GCP has been a member of the Cambridge community for over 100 years. It has been no surprise to see how our community has come together during this unprecedented time,” said GCP Applied Technologies CEO Randy Dearth. “We have a longstanding relationship with the Cambridge Fire Department, and were happy to have been able to answer their call for assistance with surplus supplies we had on hand. At GCP, we continue to look for ways we can use our resources to assist the community in our own backyard as well as globally as we get through the COVID-19 pandemic. We are committed to working together to address this unprecedented situation.”
