Staff at HICA at Home in Grimsby send a big thank you to the volunteer group “For the love of Scrubs” who handmade 140 scrub bags which they have donated to the care workers. These bags are used for when the worker finishes their shift, they pop their uniform straight in the bag and zip it closed. Then when they get home, they open the bag, leaving the uniform inside, and pop it all straight in the washer. This helps eliminate cross contamination within their homes. When they gave the bags out staff filled them with PPE including Gloves, Hand Gel, Aprons and masks.
This is a wonderful gesture from the group and a shining example of how communities are coming together to help each other out in these troubling times. The scrub bags will come in very handy and are gratefully received.
