SILVER SPRING, MD (January 19, 2021)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) has donated 500,000 masks to La Sierra University in Riverside, California, to help prevent the spread of coronavirus in nearby communities. Health officials report COVID-19 cases and the death toll continue to rise in southern California. Riverside county alone has confirmed more than 228,000 positive cases and over 2,300 deaths since the beginning of the year. (*These numbers are likely to change as more cases are reported.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are so privileged for our university and its students to be able to partner with ADRA in distributing greatly needed face masks to our communities in Riverside. Scores of people will be provided this very important tool for preventing the spread of COVID-19,\u201d says Dr. John Thomas, dean of the La Sierra University Zapara School of Business and an ADRA board member. \u201cCovid has ravaged the southern California region and in some areas the California National Guard has dispatched medical personnel to aid with the influx of Covid patients at local hospitals, including those near our university. While vaccines are arriving and hope is on the horizon in terms of driving back this pandemic, face masks will continue to be needed during the coming months for the health and safety of everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Sierra\u2019s Zapara School of Business and students from the university\u2019s Enactus program will coordinate the half-a-million 3-ply mask distribution to churches, schools and other establishments. ADRA\u2019s humanitarian relief allies Partnership for Humanity, LIFT\u00a0Non-<\/a>P<\/a>rofit Logistics<\/a>, \u0438 Global Specialty Services<\/a> facilitated the donation to the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are so grateful to La Sierra University, its students and our trusted partners for teaming up with ADRA to help communities cope in this unprecedented health crisis.\u00a0 ADRA has been delivering life-saving supplies and resources to the most needed areas of the world since the pandemic began. In many instances, we have redirected our resources to support families here in the United States, because we know from health data, that this country currently has the most coronavirus cases globally, and we\u2019re not out of the woods yet,” says Mario Oliveira, director for emergency management at ADRA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLIFT<\/a>\u00a0is proud to have helped facilitate the delivery of these urgently needed 3-ply masks for the COVID-19 response. A special thank you to Larry Dunn, the CEO of\u00a0Global Specialty Services<\/a>\u00a0for making this donation to\u00a0\u0410\u0414\u0420\u0410<\/a>\u00a0in support of those suffering from the effects of this global pandemic,\u201d says Michael Rettig, director of Lift and board member of Partnership for Humanity. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Sierra University will also help store more than one million masks for ADRA\u2019s COVID-19 response overseas. ADRA expects to ship the face coverings to Latin American countries in the coming days.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
