Salem is offering free personal protective equipment to businesses while supplies last.

The city partnered with the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce to distribute masks, gloves and wipes to for-profit and nonprofit businesses in the Salem area. Businesses must have fewer than 100 employees and have principal operations in Oregon.

Interested businesses can submit their request online.

All requested items will be available for pick up at the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce office on 1110 Commercial St. N.E. on the selected date and time referenced in the online form. The free protective gear is paid for with federal CARES Act funding.

Any questions can be emailed to [email protected].
