How you can help

The Department of Public Health is hiring for a variety of new positions to support the City’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. To review current job opportunities, visit:

The CDC Foundation is hiring for positions to provide clinical expertise and support to the Health Department’s ongoing COVID-19 response activities:

The COVID-19 Prevention & Response Fund is a community-led effort to invest in neighborhood-based solutions to urgent needs related to COVID-19. The Fund seeks to increase rates of vaccinations in communities that are disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and to address the challenges exacerbated as a result of the pandemic.

Donate to the COVID-19 Prevention & Response Fund

Health care providers are experiencing serious shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE). Without this equipment, providers are in danger of becoming sick or transmitting the COVID-19 coronavirus to others.

The City is currently seeking donations of protective equipment and supplies, including:

  • N95 respirators and face masks.
  • Disposable or washable surgical masks, dust masks, or other protective masks that cover the mouth and nose.
  • Disposable and washable gowns.
  • Eye protection.
  • Gloves.
  • Swabs.

All items should be in the manufacturer’s original packaging and unopened. We cannot accept open products or homemade items.

Donate personal protective equipment (PPE)

Hunger among those who are unsheltered is rising. Meal sites throughout Philadelphia are facing increased demand.

If you would like to donate food to help feed hungry Philadelphians, you can schedule a pickup through the Food Connect website or input the donation into the Food Connect App for iPhones.
