OpenTogether Free PPE Distribution
Spokane County is holding their final free Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) distribution event to assist small businesses and non-profits to continue operations to keep employees and the public safe. Spokane County utilized CARES Act funds to purchase the PPE.

These free distribution events, called OPENTogether PPE Distribution provide small businesses with 249 and fewer employees and non-profits of any size, with PPE supplies, including hand sanitizer, disinfecting cleaner, and both disposable and cloth facial coverings.
