Banner Health Foundation in need of 100,000 hand-crafted face masks

Banner Health Foundation is looking for 100,000 hand-crafted face masks to be donated by volunteers, sewing groups, and other companies in Arizona.

Banner Health Foundation is accepting donations of medical supplies and Personal Protective Equipment from businesses and/or community members who have supplies that they do not currently need.

Via the Banner Health Foundation website,

We are gratefully accepting homemade masks for our health care workforce and patients. (Note these will not be worn by providers directly caring for COVID-19 patients, nor in any procedure rooms or isolation areas.)
The Foundation has a process in place to safely receive, sort and launder these masks and then distribute them in our hospitals. Please place homemade masks in a separate box, bag or container labeled “homemade masks” with the enclosed quantity. There is no need to individually package each mask, as they will be laundered before delivery.

Donations can be dropped off without any physical contact at:

Project C.U.R.E.

  • 2100 W. 14th St., Building T3
  • Tempe, AZ 85281
  • The building is located just west of 52nd Street between Broadway and University; look for the Project C.U.R.E signs.
  • DONATION HOURS: Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Donated supplies will be deployed in Banner Health’s Arizona hospitals and medical centers.

Important instructions: To keep volunteers and donors safe, people bringing donations should pack the items into the trunk of their car and pull into the donation line. Please leave windows up and do not get out of your car. A volunteer will unload the items. All people at the site are advised to practice social distancing by keeping at least six feet apart.
