Municipal and health partners in Simcoe and Muskoka are working together to collect donations from local businesses, organizations or individuals of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and critical supplies that are essential for the provision of safe medical and community care to patients and residents in our region.
Any donations of the following new and unused items would be greatly appreciated:
- N95 masks
- Surgical masks
- Face shields, protective goggles or safety glasses
- Nitrile gloves (latex-free)
- Reusable or disposable gowns
- Medical thermometers
- Hand sanitizer
- Disinfectant wipes with a DIN# or with bleach cleaner
Any businesses or community members looking to donate items can email EmergencyManagement@smdhu.org. Please note: the health unit will NOT accept any donations at any of our offices.
All donations received will be collected in central depots in Simcoe and Muskoka and will be issued to local health care providers in order of priority, as determined by the Province of Ontario. We will work with you to arrange pick-up or delivery. Businesses supplying goods for purchase can also reach out to individual partners.
