You don't just have to be a seamstress and make medical masks to help staff on the front-lines of fighting the coronavirus.
A spokesperson from UnityPoint said they are multiple ways you can chip in.
Masks
UnityPoint is accepting homemade masks and is providing instructions on how to make them. They will also accept different style masks that have already been made.
"We’ve been overwhelmed by the generous offers we’ve received from the community to make masks and support us in other ways. We want to begin using these masks in areas of indirect patient care to help us preserve our supplies," said a spokesperson from UnityPoint.
Other Supplies
They are collecting the following supplies:
- Vacuum bags
- Elastic
