EXPLAINS.
ANDY: IT’S A LITTLE IDEA THAT
COULD BE A BIG HELP IN THE
BATTLE AGAINST COVID-19.
WORKERS AT THIS DENTAL OFFICE IN
DOVER HAVE CREATED THE DENTAL
OFFICE CHALLENGE, DESIGNED TO
GET MASKS AND OTHER PROTECTIVE
GEAR TO PEOPLE ON THE FRONT
LINES FIGHTING THIS VIRUS.
>> DENTAL OFFICES ARE NOT OPEN
NOW EXCEPT FOR EMERGENCIES SO
THEY HAVE SUPPLIES IN THEIR
STORAGE THAT THEY’RE NOT USING
RIGHT NOW.
OUR FIRST RESPONDERS AND OUR
HOSPITALS REALLY NEED IT.
SO I’M ASKING THAT EVERYBODY GET
INVOLVED.
EVERYBODY CAN GIVE BACK.
ANDY: KELLY LEVY IS ASKING
PEOPLE TO CONTACT THEIR OWN
DENTAL OFFICES TO SEE IF THEY
HAVE ANY EXTRA MASKS, GLOVES OR
OTHER PROTECTIVE GEAR THAT THEY
COULD POSSIBLY DONATE.
>> CALL YOUR DENTAL OFFICE.
JUST ASK THEM.
HAVE THEY HEARD ABOUT THIS
CHALLENGE?
ONE BOX CAN MAKE A BIG
DIFFERENCE.
ANDY: BELKNAP DENTAL ASSOCIATES
SAY THEY HAVE ALREADY DONATED
1500 MASKS AND PROTECTIVE GLOVES
TO DOVER POLICE, DOVER FIRE AN
THE WENTWORTH DOUGLAS HOSPITAL,
JUST TO NAME A FEW.
>> THINK EVERYBODY WANTS TO FEEL
LIKE THEY’RE PARTICIPATING IN A
GOOD MOVEMENT RIGHT NOW.
AND I THINK IF WE CAN HELP OUR
FIRST RESPONDERS AND HOSPITALS
RIGHT NOW, I THINK PEOPLE WILL
FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT.
THAT THEY HELPED.
ANDY: ORGANIZERS SAY ONE BENEFIT
OF THIS CHALLENGE IS THERE’S NO
RED TAPE AND NO DELAYS.
IT’S IMMEDIATE HELP TO YOUR
NEIGHBORS WHO NEED IT MOST
