Donate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Updated 4/3/20

While health facilities work to secure more supplies, our community can help bridge the gap by donating PPE you may have at home, at your school, or at your workplace. As our understanding of the public health emergency evolves, our donation efforts are changing, as well. We are now accepting hand-made cloth face masks and have expanded the recipients of our donations to include senior housing and homeless shelters. If you prefer that your donation go to a health facility, please feel free to let us know by placing a note on your donation.

Please Note: Only individuals who are at low-risk of developing serious complications from COVID-19, as outlined by the CDC, can offer assistance that requires leaving home isolation. By completing the sign-up form below you affirm that you are low-risk and agree that you accept all risk and responsibility and further hold any facilitator associated with this Personal Protective Equipment donation effort harmless. All donors of PPE will be asked to leave their donations in a Ziploc-style bag on their doorstep so there is no human-to-human contact and physical distance of six feet is maintained at all times.
