Ohio is a leader and a beacon of light for our nation in fighting the COVID-19 Pandemic. It is no secret that our PPE supply is dangerously low, with no end of the shortage in sight. Hospitals, Urgent Care centers, EMS providers, and clinics across Ohio are desperately seeking alternative methods of disposable PPE and are turning to reusable sources. With reusable PPE being vastly more expensive, this has become difficult for many agencies to not only locate, but also purchase.
Our goal is to manufacture and distribute reusable gowns, face shields, and masks to our frontline healthcare workers all across the state of Ohio to keep our heroes safe!
If we surpass our goal, we will acquire additional masks, shields, and PPE for heroes until every last penny is spent.
We're a 'pay it forward' social enterprise project helping Australia's local businesses get through the Covid-19 pandemic.
