Personal Protective Equipment Needed for Your Tampa Bay Neighbors

TBSM is currently in the process of creating a community-based mask and glove donations to support our patients during this pandemic. We need your generous help and support to ensure that are patients are properly following CDC and Hillsborough county recommendations.

First, if you have extra masks or the talent to make them, we are asking that you would consider donating them to our patients, many of whom are currently without.

We would also like to ask businesses for permission to establish a donation collection point at your storefront. TBSM would then arrange the collection and redistribution of the donations. Even if your business is not currently open, please consider donating to your fellow Tampa Bay neighbors. If you own a business, or know of one that would be receptive to helping us achieve our goal, please contact me by email: lclinkowski@usf.edu.

Current guidelines strongly recommend that all citizens wear masks in public and essential locations. Our aim is to collect and distribute these masks to the populations at highest risk, including patients/families of patients who have active cases of COVID-19 or suspected infection, but are still awaiting test results.

We feel hopeful that together we could make a serious and lasting impact for the people of Tampa Bay by reducing the transmission of COVID-19. If you would be interested in discussing your contribution or have questions, please contact us at your earliest convenience.

Stay healthy, stay safe, stay connected,

Your neighbors at Tampa Bay Street Medicine
