To that end, and in hopes of preventing additional illnesses, we are now accepting donations of new and unused PPE. Types of PPE that we are accepting include:
Masks – As the CDC has loosened its acceptable mask guidelines for the prevention of infection, we are accepting both N95 respirator and ear loop surgical masks. These masks can also be sometimes used in the construction industry, which may be affected by social distancing practices. We will gladly accept any new and unused masks from construction sites that may have had to close.
Eye Protection – Similarly, any clean eye protection is also being accepted. This includes goggles and safety glasses from other industries that may have slowed due to social distancing.
Hand Sanitizer – As you can never have enough, we are accepting personal-sized hand sanitizers. Please note that, per the CDC, types with at least 60% alcohol are most effective to prevent the spread of the virus.
