Across the country, hospitals are putting out urgent calls for donations of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the face of serious shortages that put the tens of thousands of nurses, EMTs, doctors, and hospital staff serving on the front line of this pandemic most at risk.



While hospital staff and administrators are scrambling to source PPE through the supply chain, nurses are being asked to reuse masks, and going without protective suits, gowns, and even gloves, in the face of a global shortage.



Meanwhile, many industries in Canada use N95 masks & respirators, nitrile gloves, and Tyvek suits as a part of their day to day operations and millions of these items are sitting in offices and garages across the country unused, while they could be saving lives and preventing the spread of COVID-19.



We are all in this struggle for survival together, and those who are safe and at home can make a significant difference in helping our brothers and sisters on the front line of this fight by contacting local businesses likely to have lifesaving PPE on hand and asking them if they are willing to donate it immediately.



Please use the form today to sign up to volunteer to contact businesses that may have PPE and facilitating its delivery to hospitals in need! A DSC volunteer organizer will be in touch with you shortly to help coordinate this lifesaving effort.
