De’Longhi America, the U.S. arm of the Italy-based small appliance maker, says it will partner with RVs4MDs to donate its Braun BrewSense coffee machines and Coperaco ground coffee to frontline healthcare workers and RV donors involved in the program.
RVs4MDs originally started out as a grassroots movement through Facebook and now has morphed into a nonprofit garnering support on a national level. The organization connects RV owners with frontline healthcare workers who need a safe place to self-isolate in order to protect their families during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The work that RVs4MDs is doing is nothing short of amazing,” said Mike Prager, CEO of De’Longhi America. “We are eager to help bring continued awareness to this organization and honor the physicians and donors for their continued efforts in protecting our communities as all of us navigate through this unprecedented moment in our lives.”
De’Longhi said it hopes the donation will serve as a thank you to frontline healthcare workers and donors for their selflessness and service during the pandemic, as well as provide them with a sense of comfort during these challenging times.d
“During this time, RVs4MDs is supporting healthcare workers and battling COVID-19 with the help of an incredible volunteer base,” said RVs4MDs Partnership Director LaRayne Quale. “Being able to provide our donors and frontline healthcare workers with the added support of businesses such as De’Longhi is an incredible opportunity and an honor.”
