We stand with you L.A.
Our lives have taken a drastic detour by the unforeseeable impact of this COVID-19 pandemic. Here is what we are doing at HSB® to help our Clients and Community during these challenging times.
Our highest priority is protecting our employee's safety while doing whatever we can to support our community and country. Therefore, we have closed for normal operations until such time that it is safe for our employees to return to work.
Over ten days ago, our Team voted to take immediate action to equip several employees' homes with our portable embroidery, screenprint, and essential sign production equipment in preparation for the unknown. In hindsight, that was a great decision. It has allowed us to be available for our clients, particularly those in Healthcare, Municipal/Public Services, and Hospitality during the shutdown.
We moved all equipment to key employee's homes (garages, spare bedrooms, home offices, etc.) so that we can continue to serve, on a limited basis, until the 'Safer At Home' Order is lifted and we can all return to work. Our employees are grateful for the opportunity to continue doing what they love while serving our community at one of our most critical times in history.
If you are open, in full or part, and require TEMPORARY SIGNAGE (altered hours, altered services, takeout vs.sit-down seating, etc.) or need EMBROIDERED UNIFORMS, LAB COATS or SCRUBS for temporary, relief or new staff, we are here for you. We will offer both our temporary sign and embroidery services FREE OF CHARGE for companies serving our community during this crisis.
For our Clients who are Parents and are cooped inside with small children, we are offering FREE EMBROIDERY for the little ones. If you have children and would like their name, nickname or monograms embroidered on any article of clothing, we will do that for you FREE OF CHARGE. The self-pride and excitement that an embroidered piece generates, is like no other, and it is our hope that it brings joy and smiles to the faces of the children of our community during a time when the world around them is pretty scary.
To take advantage of either of these programs, email me or text me directly at (310) 869-7581 and let us know what you need and we will take care of it. The only thing we ask in return is that you Pay it Forward by donating to the Mayor Garcetti's L.A. Emergency COVID-19 Crisis Fund at MayorsFundLA.org or execute a random act of kindness in OUR COMMUNITY. Remember, Kindness matters and has a ripple effect in times like these.
For our Clients with Orders in Process, they are still in our production pipeline. Many Suppliers have also shut down temporarily to comply with local and state orders. There will likely be delays, but do not worry. Your Branding Specialist will be in contact with you this week to discuss your deadlines so that we can adjust accordingly and do everything possible to make sure your products are in your hands on-time.
Our hearts go out to all of the businesses, restaurants, cafe owners, retailers, services, and all companies and their staff and family members who have been affected. Know that we are with you and are committed to helping our clients in any way possible. If you need anything during this shutdown, please text me directly at (310) 869-7581. We will work with you to find a solution. Be safe, Be smart, and look out for others in your family and our community who need help navigating this temporary setback.
Love and Well Wishes to All.
