Help give COVID-19 masks and protective gear to first-responders
Finding certain supplies has been nearly impossible since the beginning of this pandemic. Going without things like toilet paper, flour and disinfectant wipes is difficult enough — but what about personal protective equipment like face masks?
This gear is important for everyday people and essential workers, but what about heroic first-responders like nurses and police who are on the front lines every day?
Many don’t have the PPE they need and are working unprotected at times. Now there’s an easy way for the rest of us to step up and lend a hand.
Help first-responders get essential equipment
First-responders across the U.S. need your help. They are battling COVID-19 on the front lines every day and many are without much-needed personal protective equipment to keep them safe from the virus.
