An e-blast was sent out to all the customers in the yard and to all our workforce requesting canned foods, hygiene &amp; paper products and other essential items to cope with daily life.<br \/>\nThe motor yacht Copasetic was the first to kick the ball rolling. They pulled out all the stops with a very generous donation including basics, gift cards and fun items for kids, which challenged the rest of us to take it up a notch if we could.
