How you can help DESC respond to COVID-19 (coronavirus)
Donate
In addition to our usual expenses, we’re purchasing additional cleaning supplies and personal protective equipment to keep our clients and staff safe and healthy. We’re also delivering meals and medications inside our housing programs to help tenants isolate and keep themselves safe.
If you can, please donate funds to help cover these costs.
You can also donate hygiene and survival supplies for our clients. Use this Amazon wishlist or reach out to Steven Dillon at sdillon@desc.org.
If you can help with masks or cleaning supplies, email Nathan Sawyer at nsawyer@desc.org. We are most in need of disposable masks, hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes. People with sewing skills can donate cloth masks for our staff and clients.
At this time, we are not taking more volunteers.
