COVID-19 Logistical Support in Hillsborough County
We hope you’ll support efforts underway for the COVID-19 response in Hillsborough County.
We're gearing up to assist residents affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic in Hillsborough County, Florida. Hillsborough County has sent out a message asking if any businesses, residents or medical centers have protective equipment to donate, the request is for equipment to be dropped off at a specific location and time. Teams will be assisting with non-clinical manpower, traffic routing and control at testing locations, and assisting in the supply warehouse to help receive and sort equipment as it comes in beginning on Monday, March 23.
Registering availability does not guarantee deployment but interest and availability for volunteering. Volunteers will receive further instructions via email or phone.
Thank you for coming forward when unity is needed to help during the COVID-19 response!

All events may present some risk and it’s your responsibility to your family, community, and fellow volunteers to put your health first. If you think you have been in contact with an infected person or are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, including fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, please contact your healthcare provider and reduce contact with others. As recommended by the WHO, please follow these preventive measures to reduce risk:

- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
