经开区UPS国际快递 合肥本地国际快递 UPS欧美重货促销 UPS 正与当地两家非营利组织合作，将数千件旧制服升级为狗绳，为亚特兰大地区居民提供急需的房屋和工作机会的计划受益，其中包括一些四足的居民。
当该公司去年 9 月宣布其标志性的棕色制服将在近一个世纪以来进行重大改造时，它提出了一个挑战：如何处理旧制服。通过与经济适用房倡议的 re:loom 和 Best Friends Animal Society 的亚特兰大救生中心合作，UPS 正在将旧制服从垃圾填埋场和焚化炉中移除，并将它们升级为时尚的新狗绳。
自 2009 年以来，re:loom 培训无家可归者和低收入者使用多余的纺织品制作精美的手工编织产品。使用 UPS 会的资助，re:loom的 Scottdale, GA weavehouse 的织布工 正在用旧的 UPS 制服制作大约 1,200 条皮带。在前六个月，该计划已将 118 吨旧制服从垃圾填埋场和焚化炉中清除。
UPS 将完成的皮带捐赠给 亚特兰大的朋友动物协会的救生中心，在那里它们将被使用并带着在该中心的狗回家。
“我们 125,000 名辛勤工作的司机穿着这些旧制服，他们每天在全球范围内运送近 2,200 万个包裹和文件，”UPS 可持续发展总监帕特里克·布朗 (Patrick Browne) 说。“我们不想做的就是将它们倾倒在垃圾填埋场。这就是为什么我们很高兴与这些了不起的非营利组织合作，让他们重获新生，并在我们的社区做一些特别的事情。”
“像这样来自 UPS 的慷慨捐赠，通过提供住房、培训和稳定的工作，帮助我们改变了亚特兰大家庭的生活，”负担得起的住房倡议执行董事丽莎·怀斯说。“作为一个宠物爱好者，我很高兴看到这些令人敬畏的升级皮带不仅使我们的家人受益，而且使的朋友动物协会受益。”

Franciscan Health Olympia Fields and Chicago’s Weiss Memorial Hospitals are receiving direct shipments from UPS
The first VOCSN V+Pro critical care ventilators produced by General Motors and Ventec Life Systems in Kokomo, Indiana are being delivered by UPS to Franciscan Health Olympia Fields in Olympia Fields, Illinois and Weiss Memorial Hospital in Chicago at the direction of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The milestone shipments are putting important tools in the hands of frontline medical professionals treating patients seriously ill with COVID-19.
Franciscan Health Olympia Fields received their shipment early Friday morning and Weiss Memorial will receive theirs Friday afternoon. A third shipment from GM-Kokomo will be delivered by UPS to FEMA at the Gary/Chicago International Airport on Saturday for distribution to other locations where the need is greatest.
The deliveries are the culmination of a partnership between GM and Ventec Life Systems that began with a phone call exactly one month ago. Since then, the combined teams have sourced thousands of parts, transformed GM’s advanced electronics facility in Kokomo for medical device production, contracted with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to provide 30,000 ventilators by the end of August and launched mass production. More than 1,000 men and women from the Kokomo community will be building ventilators.
“The passion and commitment that people at GM, Ventec and our suppliers have put into this work is inspiring, and we are all humbled to support the heroic efforts of medical professionals in Chicagoland and across the world who are fighting to save lives and turn the tide of the pandemic,” said GM Chairman and CEO Mary Barra.
Said White House Assistant to the President Dr. Peter Navarro: “Not only has GM/Ventec and the UAW set a new Trump Time standard in rapid industrial mobilization – just weeks from site construction to ventilator production – the GM/Ventec ventilators are now rolling off the line, and on the wings and tires of Big Brown-UPS. And through the seamless coordination of FEMA, these lifesaving devices are equally rapidly being delivered to hospitals in need in Chicago and Gary. A patriotic White House salute to the full power of private enterprise joining hands with the full force of the federal government to fight the invisible enemy!”
“Patients deserve access to the best technology to keep them in the fight as their bodies combat the virus,” said Ventec Life Systems CEO Chris Kiple. “Critical care ventilators deliver precise airflow to protect the lungs, include accurate monitors to assess patient well-being, and most importantly, they include advanced controls that help respiratory therapists and physicians wean patients off ventilators as fast as possible.”
