Metropolitan Center for Independent Living's COVID-19 Community Coordinator Team: FREE Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Care Packages by Mail
Has the Canadian wildfire smoke & haze been bothering you lately? The main health concern from wildfire smoke comes from the amount of very fine particles in the air. As we learned during the height of COVID-19, high-quality masks like N95s and KN95s can offer significant protection against COVID-19 & also smoke particulates.
The Metropolitan Center for Independent Living's COVID-19 Community Coordinator (CCC) team can send you a FREE PPE Care Package containing a 10-pack of KN95 masks, a box of medium or large size vinyl gloves, a face shield and hand sanitizer, while supplies last.
Please contact their CCC team with your name, mailing address and your preference of medium or large size gloves and they'll mail a PPE Care Package right to you.
Call their CCC team hotline at 1-800-409-5594 or email MDH@mcil-mn.org.
People with certain health conditions and respiratory issues can be more sensitive to air pollution, and may need to take more precautions, like wearing an N95 or KN95 mask when they have to be outdoors or travel on less healthy air quality days. To find out what the current Air Quality Index (AQI) is in your area, go to www.airnow.gov for more information and tips on how to stay safe.
