Healthcare workers want to protect their families and are quarantining away from home. Mt. Mercy University has stepped up and opened their dorm rooms (which include a bed and private shower) for medical personnel who do not want to put their loved ones at risk of infection.
In addition to making rooms available, Mt. Mercy University MBA and MSL programs are collecting donated items to provide care packages for their healthcare "guests." You can donate a "ready-made" housewarming basket or individual items to put in the baskets.
Suggested Items:
- Single-serving snacks
- Drinks
- Lip balm
- Lotion
- Scented soaps
- Masks and/or cloth face masks
- Adult coloring book and pens/markers
- Sudoku/word find/crossword books
- Thank you pictures drawn by kids
- Written thank you notes
- Home-school art projects
Item collection will be on Monday, April 27th from 10:00 to 11:00 am at the MMU Grad Center (1650 Matterhorn Dr NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52402). MMU staff will be onsite for curbside pickup.
