During the challenging waves of the pandemic, 3M Gives in India made a positive impact on local communities through multiple interventions addressing the emerging needs due to the impact of COVID. During the first wave of the pandemic, 3M India supported migrant labour communities through a pan India food kit distribution program and also donated medical equipment to government hospitals to combat the disease.
