We're all in this together - Please donate PPE Email
Friday, March 27, 2020 04:45 PM

Hospitals, healthcare workers, and patients are in need of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to stay safe and prevent the spread of COVID-19. Now more than we must come together as a community to battle this virus. Yesterday Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado (ALCC) donated N95 masks and packaged gloves at a Centura Health drop-off location. The donated equipment was intended for upcoming ALCC hands-on training events which have been postponed due to the pandemic. The landscape community will continue to support and give thanks to our healthcare professionals and volunteers for their hard work during the pandemic. Please join ALCC in supporting healthcare workers during this crisis and donate PPE when possible.

ALCC would love to see what you donate. Be sure to email us pictures of your donations and we will share them on our social media outlets to spread the word. Or better yet, post pictures of your donations on your social media channel(s), tag ALCC (click here for a list of ALCC social media outlets), and use these hashtags #landscapePPEdrive #PPE #IamALCC.
