AN URGENT APPEAL FOR N95 MASKS
Member Respirator Donation - Thank You!
Within 24 hours of our NCA appeal for N95 respirator masks for the Niagara Health System - 1 member firm so far has offered up an unopned box of N95 respirator masks.

A big shout out to Pec Roof Maintenance. Thank you for your generosity!
Our local hospitals and health care professionals staff will be in need of N95 masks in order to treat patients of COVID-19, and to examine potential patients for the virus.

Our health care community is our front line to getting this pandemic under control, and the shortage of these masks is a major detriment to everyone who works in the health industry.

THEY NEED OUR HELP! LET'S STEP UP!

We are appealing to the construction industry because many contractors
and trade contractors use these particular masks. We are pleading with you to check your stock.

The hospital can only accept full unopened boxes. Please contact: Karin Sheldrick to arrange delivery. Thank you in advance for your support, and please stay safe and healthy.
