A List of Lists: COVID-19 Online Resources

Updated April 14, 2020

Posted: March 26, 2020

Today, we are thankful for the “list-makers”; those people and organizations who are diligently gathering necessary and timely information and resources for entrepreneurs, small businesses, employers and employees to use as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are some that we have found helpful, but we know there are more. Please let us know of any others and we’ll add them!

First, we wanted to give a shout out to the Greater Akron Chamber, the City of Akron and Summit County who lead numerous ecosystem partners, including Bounce, to develop a comprehensive COVID-19 resource website for employers and employees. It is continually being updated, so check back often.

Second, MAGNET is leading the effort to help manufacturers produce the PPE that the hospitals desperately need. We have PPE work-streams for isolation gowns, community and surgical masks, face shields, gloves, hand sanitizer, and more. If there are organizations that want to support, they can go to https://repurposingproject.com/ and someone from the MAGNET team will reach out to them. They can also register their capabilities and ideas at www.americamakes.us.
