stepped up to contribute
in any way they
can to stop the spread
of infection,” Diaz said.
“These masks will go a
long way in protecting
vulnerable people in
our community from
the coronavirus pandemic
and I thank the
Taiwanese Chambers
of Commerce of North
America and New York
for helping us keep so
many Bronxites safe!”
The masks will be
distributed to people at
upcoming events in targeted
neighborhoods
around the Bronx.
“Our organizations
gladly donate 50,000
medical masks to the
Bronx,” said President

“This donation signifi
es the love from
Taiwan and shows
solidarity to the City
where many Taiwanese
Americans call
home. It is our common
responsibility to
keep the curve fl attened,
and the best
way to do it is wearing
masks.”
