Sequim’s Emergency Coordinating Center has set up a donation drop-off center at Greywolf Elementary School, 171 Carlsborg Road, to support the emergency response efforts to the 2019 novel coronavirus threat.

Donations will be accepted 9 a.m.-2 p.m., Monday-Friday.

To drop off a donation, drive through the north gate of the school and circle around to the back of the building; a volunteer will meet people donating items at their car. Residents donating items are asked to stay inside their vehicles.

The community is asked to be mindful regarding what types of donations will best help support the emergency response efforts by local agencies. There is still a need for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) devices, specifically masks and gloves.

Hand sanitizers and disinfectant wipes are also needed.
