If you've got supplies, here's how to give them to the medical workers who need them most. This list is not exhaustive, and we'll be updating it with new information and details as they become available. There's also always the option of contacting your own local doctor or clinic and asking them if they can use what you have.
If you think you should be added to this list, email us.
