Conquer COVID-19 is donating more than 120,000 masks, face shields, and personal protective equipment (PPE) to the migrant workers in Windsor-Essex where there are the highest rates of the virus in all of Canada.
Conquer COVID-19 consists of doctors, nurses, business leaders, small business owners and volunteers.
Windsor-Tecumseh MP Irek Kusmierczyk said the donation will go to six agencies and community organizations: the Migrant Worker Community Program, Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers, the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit, Windsor Regional Hospital, Erie Shores Healthcare, and Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare.
“These organizations are working day-and-night to protect our farmworkers and our communities, and this incredible donation provides a timely boost and the opportunity to demonstrate once again that our region stands united,” she said in a news release.
