Mlily USA Partners With Ole Smoky Moonshine to Donate Hand Sanitizer to Hospitals

Furniture World News Desk on 4/20/2020

Mattress manufacturer MLILY USA announced that it has donated 75 gallons of medical-grade hand sanitizer to three different hospital networks in Eastern Tennessee and in South Carolina to help healthcare workers in the battle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Like medical masks during the health crisis, hand sanitizer has come into short supply, and MLILY partnered with distillery Ole Smoky Moonshine.

Ole Smoky Moonshine, another Tennessee-based company who has partnered with MLILY in the past with philanthropic initiatives, shifted some of its production to manufacturing hand sanitizer made with 80-percent alcohol. The company delivered the sanitizer to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, a 152-bed pediatric care medical center located in Knoxville; nine-unit Covenant Health System in East Tennessee; and Anderson Memorial Hospital, a 461-bed medical center in Anderson, South Carolina, close to the company’s factory.

Each hospital was given 25 gallons of the hand sanitizer.

“We are in unprecedented times, and our healthcare workers are working on the front lines to help those impacted most. We’re fortunate to be able to supply them with the tools they need to remain healthy as they continue to heal those who are ill,” said Stephen Chen, president of MLILY USA. “In speaking with leaders in our community health systems, their immediate need was hand sanitizer, and our partner Ole Smoky had it packaged and ready to go.”

Giving back and supporting community is part of MLILY’s ethos. The company is an ongoing supporter of Special Spaces, a non-profit organization that transforms the bedrooms of terminally ill children, and earlier this year donated 200 mattresses and 200 pillows to help with tornado relief efforts in the state. The Nashville area was pummeled by multiple, deadly tornadoes that killed more than two dozen people.
