As we manage the COVID-19 pandemic, Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAHC) is in need of donations of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and other supplies.
For infection control purposes, donations must be in original factory packaging and unopened. Unfortunately, we cannot accept handmade items at this time or gifts of food.
New and unused items that MAHC will accept include:
- N95 Masks
- Procedure/Surgical masks – ear loop or tie back
- Safety goggles
- Disposable fluid resistant gowns
- Disposable gloves, especially non-latex
- Hand sanitizer
If local companies have an innovative idea of how their company may be able to support the design or manufacturing of items to help the cause, please visit: https://www.ontario.ca/page/how-your-organization-can-help-fight-coronavirus.
“My greatest thanks to those who have already reached out with offers of donations, and my sincerest appreciation to our Foundation teams who are coordinating these efforts for us in addition to their ongoing fundraising work for the hospitals,” says Natalie Bubela, MAHC Chief Executive Officer. “While we are grateful for your donation, the foundations will not be able to provide a donation receipt for your in-kind contribution.”
