Opportunity Details
COVID-19 Logistics & Medical Supplies
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 by assisting in the supply warehouse for incoming medical supplies and equipment that will need to be received, inventoried, and then sorted through for distribution to local hospitals, clinics and other healthcare facilities in Hillsborough County as requests come in through the Florida Department of Health (FDOH). The equipment being solicited is medical grade Personal Protection Equipment (PPE). The items must be new in the box or unused. All sizes needed. We are asking medical schools, dental clinics, elective surgery centers, private vendors and residents to donate these items.
Keep in mind, those over the age of 60 and with underlying health conditions are most at risk, and we ask that if you fall into this category you do your part by maintaining social distance and participating in online and remote opportunities only. Volunteers will be required once on-site to complete a medical screening and temperature check before volunteering along with a brief training on what you will be doing once you arrive.
