[Bethenny](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-york/bethenny-frankel/) has transformed from a [real housewife](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-york/bethenny-frankel/) to a philanthropic powerhouse with her charity 'B Strong.' While she has previously helped with natural disasters and domestic abuse, B is now doing her part to help the current Coronavirus pandemic. Bethenny recently spoke with [RADIO.com](https://www.radio.com/music/entertainment-news/bethenny-frankel-to-donate-over-1-million-face-masks) about donating more masks than she had originally planned, expecting the number to jump to over a million. Bethenny states: *"Every time there's a disaster I really hear from my social media followers. They're all over the world, and they let me know what's going on quicker than the news for me sometimes. So a couple of people were talking about the masks."* Being the super organized, type-A person that she is, B is using a grid system to allocate the masking, adding: *"We decided to take all of the messages into a grid from all of the smaller hospitals from Sarasota to Saratoga to Philadelphia to New Jersey to Staten Island to all over the country and keep them in a grid so that we have masks in major orders of thousands allocated to certain hospitals. We don't have red tape and we move very quickly."* Bethenny ensured her own volunteers and workers would be safe, as she ensured everyone that her operation will follow CDC Guidelines: *"My partner is in Florida, quarantining himself except for when they go into our warehouse which will only be about 6 people at a time and they're 6 feet apart with gloves and masks on, trying to assemble. We're having a lot of medical masks shipped directly from other countries to the hospitals." * Bethenny also acknowledged that while this pandemic is terrifying, it has been humbling for everyone as we are all in this fight together: *"I think this is a global reset. It's terrible and so sad, but everybody that I know feels like there's a shift, and that they're experiencing something, and that something is happening personally for them. The most important thing for people to do is to stay calm, cool, and collected and be a person that is good in a crisis."* I hate when wealthy celebs preach but don't follow their own advice. Bethenny definitely puts her money where her mouth is, and I respect that. Keep up the good work B! ## Thoughts on Bethenny's interview? *Follow AllAboutTRH On Instagram** [Here](https://www.instagram.com/rox.jajo)*** *Follow Us On Twitter [Here](https://www.twitter.com/allabouttrh)And Like Us On Facebook **[Here](https://www.facebook.com/allabouttrh)*** Source: [Radio.com](https://www.radio.com/music/entertainment-news/bethenny-frankel-to-donate-over-1-million-face-masks)
