Three organizations partner together to help gather much needed medical supplies

KENNEWICK, Wash. - With the virus outbreak hitting our area hard, three local organizations are coming together to ask for the community's help with supplying critical medical supplies.

Tri-City Development Council (TRIDEC), Tri-City Regional Chamber of Commerce and Visit Tri-Cities, have come together to operate a drop off location where people can donate the critical medical supplies. All of the local healthcare providers have a critical shortage of these items and global supply chains have ceased to exist. The members of the Tri-Cities Business and Visitor Center have organized a donation site where community members can donate their medical supplies.

Supplies that are in critical shortage are: Masks, Disinfecting wipes, Face shields, Thermometers, Hand sanitizer, Gloves, and Isolation gowns. The donation center will be open Today through Wednesday from 11am to 7pm. For more information, visit the TRIDEC Facebook page here.
