County Cultural Services Agency receives PPE donation
As the spread of COVID-19 continues throughout the world, the need for personal protective equipment (PPE) remains high, especially for front line staff. To address the ongoing demand, the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas (CTTB), Dharma Realm Buddhist University (DRBU) and their parent organization, Dharma Realm Buddhist Association (DRBA) have expanded their PPE donation project, to supply PPE to the Mendocino County Library and the County Museum.
There will be 6,000 surgical masks, 120 bottles of hand sanitizer and 10,000 vinyl gloves donated for the use of library and museum staff and visitors. All PPE will be distributed to the library branches throughout Ukiah, Willits, Fort Bragg, Point Arena and Covelo, as well as to the traveling Bookmobile and the County Museum, located in Willits.
“A strong sense of community is a guiding principle at DRBU, as we integrate care into all that we do,” DRBU President, Susan Rounds, said. “The Mendocino County Library and the County Museum are vital to the DRBU community and to our neighbors throughout the county. We are honored to contribute to ensuring the health and safety of its staff and visitors.”
In addition to DRBU students and staff, members and friends of Dharma Realm Buddhist Association in China, including the Buddhist Association of China and Jing Ming Vihara of China, contributed to the donated supplies. To certify the quality of the PPE, all items come with a copy of the manufacturer’s business license and FDA and/or CE (Europe) and/or ISO (international) certificate.
