“We hope to find the missing masks in the next few days, but in the meantime, keep those donations coming,” WMC said in a social media post Wednesday. “THANK YOU TO THIS WONDERFUL COMMUNITY! Your support means so much to all of us working hard to care for you.”

Natrona County officials have been requesting Personal Protective Equipment, otherwise known as PPE, through a donation center that has been established at the Mills Police Department. Natrona County Emergency Operations Center officials are currently seeking nitrile gloves, masks, gowns, and empty hand sanitizer bottles.

The Mills Police Department donation center is open Monday through Friday 9 am to 4 pm, and can be found at 4800 W Yellowstone Highway, in Mills.
