As Covid-19 continues to sweep the nation, hospital resources are quickly becoming scarce, with many requesting face masks for the safety of healthcare workers,

Hamilton-alum, Javier Munoz, has joined those answering the call for hospital supplies, volunteering the help of Broadway wardrobe artists and vans prepared to transport supplies to hospitals in need.

The actor is currently in touch with the office of New York governor, Andrew Cuomo, to aid in the effort.

The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees has also pointed to union members from theatrical wardrobe departments across the country as a workforce for the shortage.

Atlanta's Alliance Theatre announced earlier this week that their wardrobe team is currently creating face masks for Georgia hospitals.

Fashion designer, Christian Siriano and his sewing team are currently at work on hospital masks. Hospital dramas such as Chicago Med, THE RESIDENT and GREY'S ANATOMY have also begun donating surgical masks and gloves from their props departments.
