HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. – SexToyDistributing.com announced Monday it has partnered with the American University of Health Sciences Foundation (AUHS Foundation) to donate essential supplies and personal protection equipment to hospitals in the greater Los Angeles area. The crucial equipment being donated includes nitrile gloves, face shields, N95 masks.
In its announcement, Sex Toy Distributing also encouraged “other companies with the means to join the efforts and contact the AUHS Foundation today.”
“Sex Toy Distributing is one of the world’s largest distributors of fetish and kink equipment and we coincidentally got our start specializing in fetish medical gear,” said SexToyDistributing.com Wholesale Supervisor Brenda Reynoso. “Our decades-long relationships within this space have given us access to all kinds of hard-to-find and in-demand medical gear, and we never could have guessed how valuable these relationships would become. We highly encourage other distributors and manufacturers in our industry to contact the AUHS Foundation and see how they might be able to support first-responders and frontline healthcare workers.”
Companies interested in donating to the AUHS Foundation are recommended to contact Kim Dang at (310) 339-7017 or kdang@auhs.edu.
In its announcement, SexToyDistributing.com said its “strong relationships with medical product manufacturers and suppliers of medical gear put the company in a unique position to access the kinds of PPE that many hospitals across the city desperately need.”
The company added that as statewide stay-at-home protocols were implemented, the SexToyDistributing.com team got to work contacting sourcing and purchasing managers to gather as much PPE as they could and donate it to facilities in need.
“We have been fortunate to be able to support Los Angeles hospitals in this way and take advantage of our strong relationships in this space,” Reynoso said. “Not only were we able to access and donate face shields and gloves, we also were able to gather and donate hard-to-find N95 masks and currently are working to add more essential PPE to our next donation. These important items are in short supply across the country and it’s an honor to support those on the frontlines of fighting the COVID-19 epidemic.”
SexToyDistributing.com said it also is “the first distributor to offer CleanStream 70% alcohol hand sanitizer, giving staff and customers access to this important decontamination tool.”
