The Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce of North America mobilized its “10 million masks from 10 million hearts” charity drive to fight the pandemic. Local efforts by the Brookline Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Boston donated 190,000 surgical masks to nursing homes, medical workers, first responders and underserved groups in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island and Vermont.
The Brookline Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce gave 60,000 surgical masks on July 23 at Chamber Chief Financial Officer Jing Ruo Lin’s storage facility in Massachusetts. New Hampshire Statehouse Chief Operating Officer Terence R. Pfaff and Manchester Assistant Fire Chief Brendan Burns each picked up 30,000 masks. The masks will go toward the state and its largest city of Manchester’s neediest regions and organizations, including the Manchester School District. Director Wellington Shih of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Boston helped coordinate the personal protective equipment donation. Pfaff and Burns expressed appreciation to the Brookline Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce and TECO Boston for their generosity.
