Four students at my school have been raising money for the Mills-Peninsula Hospital Foundation which will go toward COVID-19 donations that allow for more personal protective equipment for the staff.

KRON posted this article at this LINK detailing their fundraising efforts. You can contribute by visiting their online jewelry store or give directly at this link.
