Who Are Frontline Workers?

The unsung heroes who keep our communities clean, safe, and functioning every single day.

Sanitation Workers

Housekeeping and sanitation staff who maintain cleanliness in facilities, offices, and public spaces. The backbone of hygiene and health.

Security Personnel

24/7 security guards and monitoring staff who protect facilities and ensure safety. Often working through nights and holidays.

Facility Maintenance

Engineering, maintenance, and technical staff who keep facilities operational. From HVAC to electrical, plumbing to pest control.

Why They Matter

During the COVID-19 pandemic, when most of us stayed home, these workers continued to serve. They kept hospitals clean, offices sanitized, and communities safe. They are the true frontline warriors who deserve our recognition and support.
