Respirators for Oregon
Donation protected
The fires ravaging Oregon are causing dangerous air quality levels across the state. Respirators are urgently needed by many. We were able to go through a worker safety supplier to order 100 respirators with filters for delivery on 9/15 to those most in need in Oregon.
50 respirators are going to PCUN (Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste) who are distributing to farm workers who are still working outside in the dangerous air. 50 are going to Southern Oregon Rogue Climate partners who are distributing to their community in Ashland. Most of the folks in Ashland saw their homes completely destroyed this week and are still facing dangerous air quality levels.
Cost of the 100 respirators with two filters each was slightly over $4500 so looking for friends to chip in. Receipt for purchase can be shown and proof of delivery of respirators can also provided after 9/15 when deliveries are scheduled.
