Mendelsons liquidation outlet is making sure local first responders are safe and protected during the coronavirus pandemic.
The owner, Sandy Mendelson, reached out to the Dayton Fire and Police departments and said whatever he had was available for free to them.
Lt. Randy Beane with Dayton Police said this helps tremendously as supply is limited, and after spending Thursday morning browsing through boxes, members of both departments left with pallets of items for personal protective equipment.
“We’re gathering face shields, masks, gloves, gowns, anything possible that we can make into equipment to protect our police officers, our firefighters, and other first responders in the community,” said Beane.
Mendelson said he saw Governor Mike DeWine’s call to action addressing the shortage of personal protective equipment and knew his 600,000 square foot warehouse could come in handy.
