Manufacturing PPE - We are working with the Dayton Development Coalition to compile a list of local manufacturers who make or can convert to make PPE materials. If you missed the email from Angelia on March 19 which listed the PPE needed, let us know.

Donations - DRMA is working with the Dayton/Montgomery County Public Health Department to coordinate donations/disbursement. They are accepting anything that can be used as PPE, including safety glasses, masks, gloves, gowns, face shields, etc. All donations should be in the original packages if possible.

Donations can be dropped off at the St. Vincent De Paul Community Store, located at 945 S. Edwin C Moses Blvd., Dayton, OH 45417, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Donations can be dropped off at the receiving dock located on the south side of the building (the side that faces the Montgomery County Job Center building).
