Metro New York Auto Dealers Deliver 500,000 Face Masks
/
In case you missed the rush of media stories and hundreds of social media posts, GNYADA delivered 500,000 face masks throughout the 12 counties it serves on behalf of our dealer members to people in need.
From Suffolk to Dutchess - Brooklyn to Rockland - GNYADA President Mark Schienberg and Association staff, along with several local dealers, were graciously received by Borough Presidents and County Executives, who were very appreciative and enthusiastic to be able to distribute these masks to senior centers, community nonprofits, apartment buildings, nursing homes, and other groups in need.
“Auto dealers are the brick-and-mortar backbones of Main Streets and neighborhoods throughout the region, supporting little leagues, hospitals, schools, senior centers, and many charities large and small,” said GNYADA President Mark Schienberg. “During this extremely challenging time, when so many New Yorkers are suffering, losing loved ones, losing jobs, and struggling, car dealerships are once again here to contribute.”
Below are photos of GNYADA President Mark Schienberg on his weeklong Facemask Donation Tour along with the dealers who joined him along the way.
