by Renee Harvey 11 Apr 2020 06:21 PDT

In an effort to support and help protect its local community, West Marine Fort Lauderdale yesterday donated 2,500 pairs of latex gloves to Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

"West Marine as a whole has always been committed to the communities we're a part of, and here at West Marine Fort Lauderdale we wanted to give back to the medical professionals on our front lines," said Peter Avlogitos, store manager of West Marine Fort Lauderdale. "In times like this, we're all in it together."

The donation took place this morning and will be distributed among those most in need of the additional personal protective equipment (PPE) within Broward Health Medical Center.

"We could not be prouder of this effort by our Fort Lauderdale team. In the days ahead of us, we hope to find other opportunities to give back in communities across the country," said Ken Siepel, CEO of West Marine.
