Ruger Takes Care of Employees and Community During Pandemic
Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc., has made its people and the communities in which it operates a top priority during the tragic and unprecedented coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
“As COVID-19 has driven us into extraordinary times, we knew we must step up to help our employees, their families and our broader local communities,” said Ruger President and CEO, Chris Killoy. “Our Company values of integrity, respect, innovation and teamwork are more important than ever, and are surely guiding us through these times as we work together on doing what is best for everyone.”
With some local food pantries in its community closing or facing shortages, Ruger set up its own food pantry for employees and is supporting other local food sources to help employees and families in need. Ruger employees have donated food, hard-to-get items and cash totaling over $11,000 to support this effort. Ruger also provided two additional weeks of paid time off for hourly employees, as well as other accommodations for employees who are directly or indirectly impacted by this pandemic, and it donated a wealth of surgical masks, safety glasses and other personal protection equipment to hospitals, nursing homes, police, fire and first responder departments.
