challenge. They teamed up with the owner of a local bagel shop to create a contact-free, drive- up station where community members could safely pick up premade mask and gown packets from a masked and gloved Krannert Center volunteer.
“From the very beginning
we want our volunteers and their families to be safe, so
the first mask they make is for themselves, and if their family had no means to acquire a mask of their own, they were able to take the first masks they make to protect their family,” Bouck says.
At press time, the I-PPE team had designed and delivered 1,000 disposable gowns and 5,000 masks to medical professionals and others in the Urbana- Champaign community. The team
also shared its knowledge with regional businesses so that they could take up the baton.
“We are helping our medical communities by creating a
system locally that is capable of producing the medical equipment necessary to fulfill the needs of this community,” Bouck says. “If, in the future, we find ourselves
in a precarious situation such
as this, we will be able to better respond to the need quicker.
Not only is it important to the medical community to have the supplies that are required to protect them, we are also putting out-of-work people back to work—with every intention given to the safety of all workers.”
