Honeywell donates $2 million in PPE to aid Hurricane Harvey recovery efforts

Morris Plains, N.J.-based Honeywell has donated about $2 million in personal protective equipment (PPE) to support first responders and emergency personnel in their efforts to assist their communities following the devastation of Hurricane Harvey.

The donation includes nearly 100,000 pieces of PPE, such as safety clothing, protective footwear, rubber boots, safety gloves, disposable masks for respiratory protection, protective eyewear, hard hats, and hearing protection. Also included are high-visibility T-shirts and coats for safety near roads.

The company has nearly 1,000 employees across nine sites in the Houston metropolitan area, along with another 100 employees in Orange, Texas. The Honeywell Humanitarian Relief Fund (HHRF) is supporting Honeywell employees who have been affected by the flooding, and the company is matching employee contributions to the fund dollar for dollar.
