What do you find are some of the biggest needs during a pandemic.
To speak on the project that we’re doing with Jerome Love and the Texas Black Expo, it’s really the connectivity and connecting individuals to continue to drive their business forward. And they need to do that in two different ways; one is from a technology standpoint, and the other is just from a standpoint of trying to make sure we’re representing the social distancing that they need. If they have clients that are wanting to come in, [we’re] making sure they have the cleaning products to make sure that their building or their structure is set for individuals to walk in and still feel safe in that environment.
Do you foresee UPS’ role in the community expanding given the nature of this pandemic?
I think we’re in for a long haul. A lot of people think that this is something that’s going to blow over [in] the next couple of weeks. I don’t see it that way. I see that we still need to move services and funds throughout the country for people like Jerome, who’s supporting small businesses. There are so many other companies that need information or need different items shipped to them. Let’s take the health care industry, for example, they’re in extreme need, so we’re there to try to help supply them so that they’re able to fight the long fight. We will continue to do that and we will do it on the guidelines of the CDC.
