Donating Medical Supplies to Local Hospitals

CAFA has contacted WakeMed hospital asking what supplies it needs. The medical supplies needed are as followed：

Disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizers
Disposable masks – either surgical or N95s
Any type of eye/face shields are appreciated

If you or your family has extra medical supplies or food that you are willing to donate, please contact CAFA representative Kun Yang (kun.yang@nccafa.org, WeChat:381255). We will pick up your donations at your doorstep. Please make sure to have enough medical supplies for you and your family before donating.

You may donate supplies by yourself, but we wish to collect everyone’s donations and send them off collectively as a gift from the local Chinese community. By doing this, we hope to demonstrate that we, the Chinese community, will do everything in our power to win the fight against COVID-19.

If you cannot donate supplies, we ask for you to spread to word to donate. You may also donate money through the CAFA fundraiser against COVID-19. Your money will be used to purchase medical supplies for local hospitals and support the families and students hurt by COVID-19.

Join the fight against coronavirus!

Thank you for your support! We will get through this difficult time together!
