SALT LAKE CITY, UT —April 6, 2020 — As the COVID-19 crises deepens, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals® is committed to ensuring 170 children’s hospitals have the resources they need to care for the most vulnerable kids. Critical donations are needed to provide protective gear, equipment, charitable care and support services at Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Staples US Retail has partnered with CMN Hospitals to collect personal protective care equipment or donations to help local member hospitals fund their greatest needs.
Donations of new, unused, unopened personal protective equipment such as N95 respirator face masks, disposable face masks, face-shield, eye protective wear, isolation or surgical gowns can be dropped off at participating Staples stores.
