On March 26, Glen Allen, Virginia, distributor TK Promotions (PPAI 438499, D5) delivered more than 100 gift bags to the staff at Chippenham & Johnston-Willis Hospital in Richmond. The gift bags not only showed appreciation to the hospital employees but also assisted another of TK Promotions’s clients.

“TK Promotions has two clients in separate industries that we felt had a need,” says Wayne Vaughan, MAS, vice president of sales at TK Promotions, Inc. “Client A is in the catering and food services industry and had inventory of both perishable and non-perishable items where demand had fallen significantly and swiftly. Client B is the hospital, with which TK Promotions has had a long-standing relationship.

“The hospital staff have been working long hours in increasingly stressful conditions. Todd Mawyer, our owner and CEO, recognized an opportunity to help. Todd reached out to both clients and worked on putting together ‘hero bags’ for the staff that were most impacted by COVID-19.”

The bags, which were provided by supplier BAG MAKERS, Inc., were well received by the hospital and its staff and included a range of food items as well as pens and notepads provided by Harold Wood with BIC Graphic North America. Chippenham & Johnston-Willis Hospital shared news of the bags and TK Promotions’s generous gesture on its social media accounts.
