FASHION GIRLS FOR HUMANITY Newsletter #5: 
Gowns for Good – 2^nd Order in Production!!!

Dear Friends,
 
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our Gowns for Good Made in America initiative allowing us to donate 1,000 medical gowns to hospitals in need!!!  To see how your contribution has helped, please take a moment to view our video documenting the production and delivery of the donated gowns.  We have started our second order of 1,000 gowns through the NYC Manufacturer’s Coalition which will be ready for donation soon.

We hope you can help us reach our goal of $250,000 to support our Frontliners so we can conquer this current and future public health crisis together. Continued donations will allow us to keep rolling out the production of more PPE gowns to be delivered to additional healthcare facilities in need.  Please help us support the courageous Frontline medical workers who are risking their lives every day in their fight against Covid-19.  Together, let’s make sure they have the proper protection they need!

The RealReal charity designer mask sale has already raised $10,000 in donations for the FGFH Gowns for Good Made in America initiative with a curated collection of designer masks with more being introduced today in time for Father’s Day.  The RealReal is donating 100 percent of their proceeds from the mask sale to FGFH Gowns for Good Made in America initiative, as well as providing transportation to deliver gowns from NYC Garment District makers to local hospitals in need.  Please check out the sale and support these designers who have made masks for this special sale.
 
In addition, the FGFH website which provides various resources for those interested in making PPE such as patterns for download and video tutorials to make face masks and gowns, has been accessed by over 100,000 people in 155 countries across the world.  We will continue updating the website with vital information to give individuals the tools they need to organize and help protect their local communities in need. If you or anyone you know have utilized our resources, please tag us @fashiongirlsforhumanity so we can share and continue to inspire others to get involved.
