Local business donates 6,500 medical-grade masks to area hospitals

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A local business in Charlotte isn’t letting the downturn keep it from giving back.

The owner of Re Salon and Med Spa, Marcel Stark, donated 6,500 medical-grade masks Saturday from his spa and by using his connections to get more masks directly from manufacturers.

The masks can be distributed to 13 area Atrium hospitals.

“I hope that others will join in and understand it is a world pandemic out there. We’re all in tough times. The only way we can work through this is by working together,” said Stark.

The donation was on behalf of his mother, Eva Stark, who has been giving back to the Charlotte community for 30 years.
