As the COVID-19 pandemic races through the U.S. and other parts of the world, one important consideration is to think how we can help to stop, slow, and/or better manage the situation. There has been an unprecedented need for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and therefore shortages. If you would like to help in the D.C, Maryland, Virginia (DMV) area, please consider providing funding to help our GW Personal Protective Equipment Factory. This is a GW team led by Professor James Huckenpahler, an adjunct digital lab instructor in the Corcoran School of Art and Design. The team is using 3D printers to produce PPE for the GW Hospital, as well as donating PPE to organizations in DC, Prince George’s county in Maryland, and parts of northern Virginia, see GW Today article for further detail. GW Community Collaborates to Produce PPEs for Hospital Workers.
If you would like to make a gift to support this GW PPE Factory effort, please use this link and in the comment field type “for GW PPE Factory”. All funds raised will go directly to purchasing materials and equipment to produce additional PPE for GW and the DC area. Thank you, every dollar will help.
Thanks for being part of our community, stay safe and be well.
Best regards,
Rodney
