Alen Air Purifiers and Greater Boston Latino Network Join Forces

Alen Air Purifiers and Greater Boston Latino Network Provide Free Masks To Youth in COVID-19 Hotspots

The Greater Boston Latino Network (GBLN), a collective of community-based organizations, applauds Alen, the leader in creating pure indoor air, for their generous contribution of 1,000 FDA-compliant masks protecting youth in COVID-19 hotspots such as East Boston. This gift is a godsend, particularly on the heels of alarming reports nationally that “children in minority communities are much more likely to become infected and severely ill.” The masks will be distributed as part of GBLN’s “Masks Are Cool / Mascaras Son Genial” campaign, an initiative involving the free distribution of masks and resources to help families struggling the COVID-19, particularly youth ages 21-39. This campaign is powered with support from the Boston Resiliency Fund of the City of Boston.

“Support for youth is now more critical than ever due to COVID-19, and this initiative with Alen creates a local and national model for direct support to help stabilize and ensure the wellbeing of youth, particularly in low-income communities of color. We applaud Alen for its visionary leadership in supporting children, families, and communities,” said Iván Espinoza-Madrigal, GBLN’s Co-Chair. 

“At Alen, we make HEPA air purifiers because we are committed to the greater goal of ensuring healthy air quality and safe breathing environments. Our team is proud to partner with Greater Boston Latino Network to provide masks that will help protect local youth in Boston,” said Alen CEO, Andy Graham.
