Healthcare professionals working on the frontlines to stop the spread of the Coronavirus are facing a massive shortage in essential materials and equipment, so Kruger, Canada's leading manufacturer of tissue products, is stepping in with its Rolling it Forward program.
This initiative is delivering packages filled with essential materials to hospitals around Canada, making stops in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. The packages are filled with products from the Cashmere, Purex, SpongeTowels and Scotties brand, which includes toilet paper, paper towel, sanitary products, and more.
What's more is that the brand has partnered with Mercedes Benz to make these cross-country deliveries, as the auto brand donated 20 of its vehicles to help with the cause.
