An organization called Gowns4Good is making national headlines for their generosity and innovation for the fight against COVID-19.

Than Moore, a graduate student at the University of Vermont, had planned to gradate with his MBA in the spring of 2020. However, Than’s plans changed once COVID-19 shook the world and put everything on hold—including his graduation. With his cap and gown sitting in the back of his closet, an idea clicked that would help transform the front lines at hospitals across the country.

He realized that hospital workers on the frontline fight against COVID-19 did not have the proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to keep them safe against the deadly virus. That’s when he came up with the idea of collecting graduation gowns to use as PPE on the frontlines. Than and his crew of six are working to bring the proper equipment to hospitals. These young adults have collected and donated over 6,500 gowns as PPE and have received national attention from the media.

Visiting Angels of West Springfield applauds the Gowns4Good team for their generosity and innovation in the fight against COVID-19. We have recently spoken with them about how Visiting Angels of West Springfield is working to help the local community during this pandemic. So far, we have received over 60 gowns for our caregivers who are continuing to care for the many elderly clients and older adults in the Greater Springfield area.

If you, a family member, or friend has a college or high school gown they no longer need, please consider donating it to Gowns4Good by visiting their website at https://www.gowns4good.net.
