A Small Fish in a Big Pond’: Smaller, Essential Health Care Nonprofits Are Struggling to Find Masks, Soap

Jeremiah’s Place, an emergency child care service in East Liberty, is also in need of equipment.

“All of the masks that we do have are hand-made from our supporters and partners in the communities,” said Jordan Shoenberger, director of operations.

A diminishing supply of liquid hand soap has been another concern. Community partner Global Links usually helps by donating excess cleaning supplies from hospitals, but those supplies are running scarce.
