In partnership with Delaware business leaders Richard Piendak and Dave Tiberi, as well as other local businesses and members of the community, ChristianaCare will open a collection site to receive donations of medical supplies from the community to help protect Delaware’s health care workers.
The following unused items are needed:
All types of unused protective face masks, especially N95 masks.
Protective suits and medical scrubs.
Goggles, safety glasses and face shields.
Cleaning and sterilizing solutions and wipes.
Medical gloves.
Digital and disposable thermometers.
Hand sanitizers.
ChristianaCare is requesting donations of these items from businesses or community members who have supplies that they do not currently need. Members of the community are not being asked to purchase new items for donation. However, monetary donations can be made online to support the effort at https://christianacare.org/donors/.
Important instructions: To keep volunteers and donors safe, people bringing donations should pack the items into the trunk of their car and pull into the donation line. Please leave windows up and do not get out of your car. A volunteer will unload the items.
All people at the site are advised to practice social distancing by keeping at least six feet apart. Anyone who is experiencing flu-like symptoms should not come to this donation site.
When: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 25th through Friday, March 27th. Additional dates will be added as needed.
Where: 110 W. Market Street in Newport, Delaware.
