Hand sanitizer give away this Friday

Continuing from our successful collaboration with Austin Public Health and HACA  in distributing PPEs last Saturday, ADAPT will be distributing 23 oz sanitizer bottles from noon to 3 pm or until supplies are gone.

When: this Friday 2/5 noon to 3 pm (or till we run out.)

Where: ADAPT Office  1100 S IH 35 Austin, TX. 

Last week’s event was a big success despite the dreary weather.  Austin Public Health (APH) arrived with boxes of supplies for local home health agencies to give to their attendants.  The agencies had been contacted in advance and had asked for a certain number, yet oddly some did not bother to show up.  None the less others did, and their attendants will receive the supplies.  PACT contacted their members who also came to collect supplies, and PACT and ADAPT offered them to the people we have been mailing supplies to since last summer. In addition, members of the public who wanted supplies were welcomed.  The Housing Authority of the City of Austin, HACA, hosted the drive through event in their parking lot and we are most grateful for their generosity. The APH was very organized and most generous to offer this help.  Disgracefully, the state has done little to nothing to assist and assure attendants have the PPEs they need to protect their own health and the health of the people they assist.
