N95 Mask Challenge

[RSBob]

Local hospitals are putting out pleas for N95s from the community. I donated my N95s and procedure masks to a local hospital and challenge all Pelicanites to do the same. 914World is doing the same. A project or a provider’s life, it’s your choice. Thank you

I donated 5 boxes containing 10 masks each to my doctor this afternoon.
She has a busy practice and she was fast running out.

Have you ever been hugged by your doctor?

Harbor Freight sent out an email Sunday offering to donate their stock. I forwarded to my brother as my SIL is on the "Covid Response Team" at her hospital. It may all be gone by now, but worth a try.

If you work at a hospital with a 24 hour emergency room in need of these items, please ask the office in charge of procurement at your hospital to click here so they can provide us with the information we’ll need to determine if we can make a donation. If you’re not with a hospital, but would like to give us the name of a hospital with a 24 hour emergency room in your community that might need our help, please email us at hospitalhelp@harborfreight.com, identify the hospital’s city and state in the subject line, and our team will follow-up.

PLEASE DO NOT MAKE REQUESTS AT YOUR LOCAL STORE OR OUR CALL CENTER AND PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT HOSPITALS—THEY’RE BUSY HELPING THEIR PATIENTS.

Great thread. Last week an ER doc friend was asking around for donations of masks. I gave him my extras and he said it could be enough to get him through his shifts this month. That was a week ago and the supplies at a major urban hospital were already that low.

Even open boxes can be donated. They are needed NOW.
