Public Health Requesting Donations of Hand-Sewn Facial Coverings (Masks)

GREENE COUNTY, OH – Due to COVID-19, officials at Greene County Public Health (GCPH) are asking for additional donations of hand-sewn facial coverings, or masks, to help keep staff and patients at local clinics, county social service agencies, long term care facilities, and our first responders, healthy and safe throughout the continued COVID-19 response.

There are various Greene County agencies and first responders in need of them as the county slowly gets back to business next week. GCPH will serve as a “clearinghouse” for these agencies and responders to ensure they have what they need. If you or someone you know is making face masks, please encourage them to donate a supply to GCPH. If you can donate, please contact Emergency Response Coordinator, Kim Caudill, at 937-3745627 or email her at This email address is being protected from spambots.
