PIVOT Collaborates With VANGO on PPE Relief Efforts

April 26, 2020

Community clinics, serving the most disadvantaged members of our society, including low-income, minority populations, are overburdened by COVID-19 and often are without critical supplies and equipment, especially personal protective equipment (PPE), needed to protect health workers at the frontline serving patients. 

connectNgive.org, built by volunteers who are PIVOT members, connect donors with resources to clinics and community organizations with needs. Since its launch last week, the site has connected donors with a number of clinics in Northern California. The connectNgive.org team welcomes health clinics across the US to register their needs, and donors to use the site to direct their resources to those they are most able to help. Instructions for how to use the site: https://youtu.be/Q4mgBjD6vTM.

VANGO Network, the Vietnamese American Non-Governmental Organization Network, a nonprofit organization, has been using the site to distribute PPE to those in need. We encourage other potential donors to leverage the platform to do the same. More information about connectNgive.org.
