US Representative Rodney Davis along with Gordy Hulten of the Illinois Manufacturer’s Association donated personnel protective equipment masks to the Taylorville Care Center on Friday afternoon. John Deere produced the PPE and Administrator Rhonda Hancock was very appreciative saying they haven’t had a case yet, but are prepared in case they have one.  Hulten says that these masks can be reusable.

Representative Davis says that he wanted to get masks to places that had trouble getting PPE in the past.

Hulten says that this is what manufacturers live for is to help in moments like these.

Representative Davis stressed that companies like John Deere are what will help America get back to business as usual once the pandemic is over. Representative Davis helped coordinate getting supplies at multiple care centers in Taylorville and Springfield.
