The Panda Cares Foundation, the charitable arm of Panda Express, has donated nearly 20,000 protective masks to Nicklaus Children’s Hospital. With COVID-19 cases on the rise in Florida and protective gear supplies still in record demand, the generous mask donation will continue to keep frontline healthcare workers and patients safe.

The Panda Express donation includes 18,000 single-use surgical masks and 1,980 KN95 respirator face masks. The donation will make a difference at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, where approximately 20,000 protective face masks are used per week. The hospital has ramped up its elective surgeries and appointments with new safety precautions in place, but higher supply costs have been a challenge.
