Merrell, a division of Wolverine Worldwide in Grand Rapids, MI, delivered 1,200 pairs of its shoes and boots (roughly $140,000 in retail value) to local hospitals—Spectrum Health and Mercy Health—as well as to the Grand Rapids fire and police departments this week.
“Merrell could not be more proud to call West Michigan home and we want to support those on the front lines working tirelessly to protect the health and safety of everyone in our community and beyond,” says Lauren King, senior marketing manager for the brand. “We hope a new pair of shoes can be a bright spot for these brave people during these unprecedented times, and we thank them for their work and service to our community.”
