SAN DIEGO, CA — Thanks to a crowdfunding campaign, boxes of masks were donated to San Diego-based St. Paul's Senior Services over the weekend.
Assemblymember Todd Gloria and fundraising team leaders delivered boxes of N95 respirator masks Saturday to the nonprofit and full-service senior care provider. The masks were dropped off at St. Paul's McColl Family Health Center in the Banker's Hill community.
The masks will be used by the hundreds of nurses that care for the 1,400 seniors that live at St. Paul's Senior Services communities, which include the skilled nursing and rehabilitation community and two assisted living and memory care facilities.
