A partnership with the Fresno County EDC and city of Fresno was announced today that will provide one million free masks and 50,000 individual hand sanitizers for Fresno businesses.

Beginning Monday, October 12, PPE will be available at the Fresno Chamber of Commerce, Monday through Friday, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Eligible Businesses

Businesses eligible to participate in the PPE distribution must be legally authorized to do business (at any percentage of capacity) in Fresno County and must have fewer than 100 employees.

Plenty of masks and sanitizers are available, but to ensure availability to all those in need, the Chamber team is requesting no more than a 30-45 day supply be taken by each business.

No Local Money Used

The masks and sanitizers supply was purchased by the California Office of Emergency Services.

No Chamber, EDC or local CARES Act dollars were used in the acquisition of this equipment.
