Denton County has asked the public for donations of personal protective equipment, or PPE, to help local healthcare workers, first responders and other frontline workers to help protect them from COVID-19.
“Your help in obtaining these necessary supplies is most welcome,” Denton County Judge Andy Eads said in an April 10 statement. “While we are also working to purchase supplies, the need for PPE continues to grow. And, as I’m sure you’ve heard, PPE resources are limited. All PPE will be given to those who are putting their own lives on the line during this pandemic.”
The county is in need of new and unopened medical N95 masks, gloves, disposable gowns and standard medical face masks, according to local officials.
Donation sites will be set up April 13 and April 15 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at 200 S. Mill St., Lewisville, as well as from 1-3 p.m. at 306 N. Loop 288, Denton.
