Personal protective equipment for healthcare workers and first responders remains in short supply because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Oakland County Executive David Coulter put out the call for donations in response to this shortage during a news conference Sunday at the L. Brooks Patterson Executive Building.
Oakland County is now accepting donations of masks (all types), face shields, surgical gowns, surgical gloves, no-touch thermometers, and respirators at the Oakland County Farmers Market, 2350 Pontiac Lake Road in Waterford, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“We need more equipment,” Coulter said. “If you or your business has this equipment and you’re not currently an essential business that needs to be open – maybe you’re a dentist’s office whose affected by the governor’s order or maybe you’re another kind of facility that has access to this equipment — we need it. I want to encourage you to contact our Emergency Operations Center.”
Oakland County will pick up any donated equipment on the list for those who are unable to drop off donations at the Farmers Market.
To contact the Emergency Operations Center to donate equipment, call 248-858-5300 or email oakeoc@oakgov.com.
