content: Before the Covid-19 pandemic, Capitol Hill Baptist associate pastor Jamie Dunlop ministered at a church in China and forged a relationship between the two congregations. The United States faced a shortage of PPE early in the pandemic, while it was more readily available in China. When people at the Chinese church heard about the problem, they arranged to ship a donation of personal-protective equipment to their brethren on Capitol Hill. The shipment included 2,000 surgical masks; 600 N95 medical masks; 100 medical goggles; 200 anti-fog masks; 500 glovers; and 50 insulating suits.

content: The Capitol Hill Baptist Church used some of the PPE for vulnerable members of the congregation, gave many of the supplies to local institutions caring for senior citizens and unhoused people, and gave the remaining supplies to a local healthcare institution for its staff and patients.

content: While American giving to China and other foreign countries is a familiar story, these boxes serve to remind that people around the world also support Americans philanthropically.
