We've had several #Chicago organizations offer to donate some of their current #PPE to us. You all are wonderful!

Please hold on to your PPE in anticipation of any potential outbreaks this winter.

If you need any #PPE get in touch with us --> [email protected]

[#GetMePPE Chicago @GetMePPEchi]

We have no hand sanitizer in our inventory right now. Please help us change that. Nursing homes use hand sanitizer incredibly quickly.

Did you know?

Many long-term care facilities have two distinct needs: 1) Personal protective equipment for staff, and 2) Personal protective equipment for residents and visitors.

We help with both.

[#GetMePPE Chicago @GetMePPEchi]

We're worried.

You should be too.

Yesterday, July 24th, the United States reached 118,791 COVID cases and we are likely underreporting because of greatly reduced testing. Growing at 60% weekly, we are on the path to reach our winter peak of over 300k in 2-4 weeks and it will get worse if we don't take action now.

The #COVID19 delta strain is announcing its presence.

Wearing a mask and continuing precautions like using hand sanitizer and staying six feet from others remains important.

Get in touch with us ([email protected]) for #PPE needs in IL.

Good morning, Chicago!

Our mutual aid friends are putting together care packages for our unhoused community members. Would you be able to help out by purchasing some hand sanitizer off our wishlist?

"...findings showed a “rapid switch” between the Alpha variant and the Delta variant in the last few weeks, with the latter now accounting for up to 90% of all coronavirus cases"

If this happens in the Chicagoland area, we are here to help.

Your hospital has enough PPE - great!

But does the facility you’re discharging your COVID patients to?

Possibly not. @GetMePPEchi

“[Hand sanitizer is] worth more to us gone than it is clogging our shelves."

Chicago retailers --> we are happy to help you find homes for your excess hand sanitizer.

Please note we are a 501(c)3 sponsored organization.

DOES ANYONE NEED HAND SANITIZER?

Seriously, we have a lot of it. Just let us know --> [email protected]

The parallel pandemics of #COVID19 and mass incarceration drove disproportionate rates of COVID in Hispanic and Black Chicago communities.

"...jails function as infectious disease multipliers... especially affecting marginalized communities."
