Excerpts from the DailyHerald.com:
Curtis Perlman, a trustee on the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Fire Protection District board, has dedicated himself in recent weeks to connecting
first respondersfirefighters. paramedics, and medical personnel with masks, sanitizer, and other protective supplies. He has become a sought-after source for local fire and police chiefs. He leased a pickup truck last month for deliveries of supplies and has already put about 4,000 miles on it.Most supplies come from charities and businesses that are looking to donate them and need help with distribution. He has worked with four local sanitizer-producing distilleries as well as traditional medical supply companies. He found others on Facebook looking to help and is saddened that such a need for supplies exists.
