Thank you to our veterans for their service and sacrifice. We are proud to support the VA with a donation of over 36,000 PPE face shields to help protect those who protect all of us. With the support of @UPS we were able to send shields to VA hospitals nationwide. #VeteransDay

.@Indiegrove's space allowed us to quickly assemble thousands of face shields for JCMC, Christ Hospital and more at the height of the PPE crisis. It also allowed our volunteer team to meet in person for the first time, which we'll always cherish. Thank you 🙏 💛

[Jersey City Rapid Maker Response Group @jcrmrg]

We want to give a huge thank you to @Indiegrove for donating access to their co-working space for our volunteers to assemble face shields together, safely.

[Jersey City Rapid Maker Response Group @jcrmrg]

We're sad to see @Indiegrove close, as they have been a staple of the Jersey City community for the last eight years, supporting small businesses, entrepreneurs, and working for the common good of the community as they with our group.

Our face shields are being donated nationwide, but we'll always have a special connection to Jersey City, where our volunteer group began. We are especially proud to support @jcps_district with 7,500 face shields for their teachers & staff. Learn more at https://t.co/Qihz8igcwW

We're happy to support senior living centers like Mayberry Gardens who care for our most vulnerable citizens. Our donation will provide protective face shields for all of their staff. Thanks @DentonRC for telling the story of how we came together:
