CT Bio Tech Donates 1,000 Masks To Community

Press release from the House Democrats Press Office:

Jan. 10, 2021

Connecticut Bio Tech, a South Windsor based company, donated 1000 masks to the Bickford House in Windsor Locks. This donation is one of the many that the company has made throughout the pandemic. Their goal is to bolster PPE supplies in local communities.

The 48-bed Bickford Health Care Center has been providing quality care for its residents for over sixty years. Bickford offers Long Term Care and Short-Term Rehabilitation services in a warm, intimate setting.

"CT Bio Tech's generosity will ensure that anyone who needs a mask will be able to acquire one," said state Representative Jane Garibay (D- Windsor, Windsor Locks). "This proves that private businesses and government can work together to create a better world. I look forward to future collaborations."

Earlier in 2020, Connecticut BioTech donated SecureFit mask frames to several local institutions, including the teachers and staff at Middletown Public Schools, South Windsor Public Schools, and the Connecticut Capital Police Department.

"We thank Rep. Garibay for connecting us with the Sisters of Notre Dame," said Bruce Morris, managing director of CT Bio Tech. "It is an honor to be able to support frontline healthcare providers and a facility that does so much to benefit the most vulnerable members of our community. Essential workers have put forth such an outstanding effort during these trying times, and we are pleased to be able to play even a small role in making their jobs a little easier as we look to turn the corner on this pandemic and towards a brighter future."

CT Biotech donated 1,000 masks to the Sisters of Norte Dame in Windsor last month.
