Brenden Dillon Donates 10,000 Medical Face Masks

(Caps Outsider)

Brenden Dillon hasn’t been a Washington Capital for long, but we’ve heard nothing but good things about him being a great person. So it wasn’t a shock to hear that he spent time with MSE Foundation to help donate 10,000 medical face masks to several non-profits, including MedStar Health, DC Central Kitchen (DCCK) and Martha’s Table in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I am incredibly thankful for everyone assisting the D.C. area in the fight against COVID-19,” said Dillon. “Whether its serving patients in our hospitals or fighting hunger by providing groceries, each organization is making a huge difference. Masks are so important for them to safely make that difference, and I am happy to support their efforts through this donation.”

From the press release:
