Dear Portland Chapter Members and Industry Friends,

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) donations are urgently needed for the COVID-19 Response. Please consider donating your surplus PPE if you are able.

With local doctors, nurses and other medical staff facing dire shortages of equipment to protect them from the spread of coronavirus as they work, your donations are critical and will make a difference. Without this gear, hospitals and clinics may need to shut down, and first responders will be limited in their abilities to help.

Below is the full list of items that the The State of Oregon, Multnomah County and Portland Fire & Rescue are asking for:

Officials urge that donations be made to the approved sites listed below, rather than medical locations, which are trying to limit contamination risk.

We are all in this together. For more information about COVD-19 and what you can do to keep healthy and safe, visit the Centers for Disease Control at cdc.gov or the Oregon Health Authority. I hope that you and your loved ones stay healthy and well.
