Additionally, Soft Stuff Distributors was awarded $50,000 from the Maryland Department of Labor’s COVID-19 Layoff Aversion Fund for IT equipment that enabled the company to prevent layoffs by transitioning staff to telework. Soft Stuff also pivoted operations in response to the pandemic by adopting a curbside grocery service and expanding its e-commerce presence.

At his last stop of the day, the governor visited with members of the Maryland State Police Special Operations Division, as well as the Office of the State Fire Marshal, who have continued to protect and serve the people of Maryland on the front lines throughout the pandemic.
