Many of you have also asked how you can donate supplies to meet our critical needs for personal protective equipment  (PPE).<br> <br>We are pleased to announce that starting today, March 23, UW Medicine will be accepting in-kind donations at a drop-off center located near  University Village in Seattle. Donations can be dropped off from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays or shipped directly to the center. <br> <br>The following items will be accepted in their unopened and original packaging: <br><br>&#8211; Disposable face masks: all types, including N95 respirators <br>&#8211; Clear face shields Clear safety\/medical glasses or goggles <br>&#8211; Powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) systems <br>&#8211; Exam and surgical gloves <br>&#8211; Isolation gowns <br>&#8211; Disinfecting wipes <br>&#8211; Hand sanitizer <br><br>To donate supplies, please begin by submitting the form on the UW Medicine Advancement Emergency Response to COVID-19 website.
