The Banner Health Foundation is now collecting donated medical supplies and personal protective equipment, or PPE, in partnership with Project C.U.R.E.
Banner Health Foundation is requesting donations of these items from businesses and/or community members who have supplies they do not currently need. Members of the community are not being asked to purchase new items for donations, however, monetary donations can be made online to support Banner's COVID-19 Response Efforts and health care workers at GIVE.BANNER.COM.
Donations can be dropped off Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at 2100 W. 14th St., Building T3 in Tempe. Donated supplies will be deployed in Banner Health’s Arizona hospitals and medical centers. To keep volunteers and donators safe, you can conveniently wait in line to have items unloaded from your vehicle, and volunteers will practice social distancing.
Banner Health thanks Project C.U.R.E. for their support, and everyone in the community committed to helping Banner Health during this global pandemic. Also they thank Prestige Cleaners in the Valley and Sparkle Cleaners in Tucson for donating laundry services so that all homemade mask donations can be cleaned before being given to team members.
