LOS ANGELES - You may have seen Dr. Gadget on FOX 11 News often giving away big prizes to our viewers, but this time, he worked with several companies to arrange a $400,000 product donation to the city of Los Angeles.
With the generous contributions, Dr. Gadget was able to get 10,000 bottles of PURE Skin Defense, an all-natural, non-toxic protective spray, to the Salvation Army for distribution on Thursday, May 14th. Members of the Salvation Army and volunteers distributed 2,000 boxes of food at Exposition Park to pre-registered Los Angelenos struggling because of the outbreak. Each box contained an average of 18 meals, a $20 Albertson's gift card, and two bottles of Skin Defense.
Since the middle of March, the Salvation Army has provided more than 1.4 million meals to people in need throughout Southern California.
