The Thrace Plastics Group donation not only protects the individual health of high risk people, it also helps maintain public health nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text gb-text-6fbbf8aa\">Desmos that works as a hub for charitable giving in Greece will coordinate the research and communication with charitable organizations throughout the country and will manage the distribution of 2.000.000 masks to senior care homes, children\u2019s homes, social pharmacies, homeless shelters, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text gb-text-831bc114\">In this project our priority is to provide certified single use masks to charitable organizations and social welfare providers that care for high-risk vulnerable groups such as the elderly, infants &amp; children, patients with chronic diseases, low-income and\/or uninsured, and the homeless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text gb-text-725bf1d9\">The project has been the initiative of the Thrace Plastics Group S.A. that identified Desmos as the most reliable and efficient organization to manage this large donation and ensure that the valuable supplies go where they are needed. Thrace Plastics SA has begun producing masks since this past March, capitalizing on their technical know-how and production capabilities. The company is donating 50% of production for May &amp; June, approximately 2.000.000 masks, to protect vulnerable people against COVID-19 in Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text gb-text-a53b0e15\">In a perfect synergy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acscourier.net\/en\/home\">ACS Courier Services<\/a> has also joined this collaboration to take on the <strong>free<\/strong> and <strong>safe<\/strong> delivery of these masks to charitable organizations nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text gb-text-0a495aec\">Deliveries have already started!
