We know this coronavirus has our first responders – sheriff deputies, police officers and EMTs – in harm’s way and in desperate need of life-saving personal protection equipment.

They need masks, disposable gowns, eye protection, gloves, disinfectant and other essential items – immediately.

Many retailers, nonprofits and everyday citizens have joined this effort. And listen, you and I need to get in here!

Businesses: please donate personal protection equipment directly to our first responders right away.

And everybody, please donate to the National Sheriffs’ Educational Foundation, a nonprofit that finds the highest priorities, and gets them the equipment they need as quickly as possible at sheriffs.org/donate or text ‘donate’ to 703-952-7119. That’s 703-952-7119

First responders keep us safe. Let’s help keep them safe, too!
