Local Chinese group and Cummins team up for virus relief efforts
Cummins East Asian Employee Resource Group and the Columbus Chinese Association are working together to send more medical supplies to China.
The groups are raising money to purchase protective goggles and other supplies to be shipped to hospitals in the Wuhan area, the center of the coronavirus outbreak and the site of three Cummins facilities
Last week Columbus Regional Health and Cummins worked together to donate 10,000 masks to the communities in China. Members of the Columbus Chinese Association hand-delivered the masks to Chicago OHare Airport, catching the last flight to China before the airlines shut down the route. Masks reached the communities of Wuhan and Xiangyang and recipients included some families of Cummins employees, according to the company.
The group has raised $20,000 toward the efforts. If you would like to donate you can send donations by Paypal to [email protected] or through Old National Bank in care of the Columbus Chinese Association.
