Nevada City, CA—The County of Nevada Office of Emergency Services (OES) is offering local small business owners, with 25 employees or less, a 30-day supply of masks and hand sanitizer for each employee at no cost. This personal protective equipment (PPE) has been made available to California small businesses through the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) in collaboration with the Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA).
Local organizations in Western Nevada County
have partnered to assist with distribution
include the Nevada County Association of REALTORS, Economic Resource Council, Grass Valley Downtown Association, Nevada City Chamber of Commerce, Nevada County Tech Connection, Nevada Union Athletics, and Rotary International.
Fifteen pallets of PPE, including 2,600 gallons of hand sanitizer and 314,000 disposable surgical masks, have been delivered and will be distributed to the small business community on Tuesday, July 21 through Thursday, July 23 at the County’s former Corporation Yard near the Nevada County Airport. “With COVID-19 cases on the rise in Nevada County, it is increasingly important that small business employees have the equipment they need to protect others and themselves.

After completing the online PPE request form, small businesses should print the first page of their confirmation email to serve as a receipt. The printed receipt will be exchanged for the PPE. Kathy Hinman is helping run the distribution and is suggesting that you send your order receipt to her at
khinman@nevadacountyaor.com so that you can be spared wait in the long car lines on Loma Rica and allow you to pick up your order at the Association Offices. OES recommends
completing the form right away as this opportunity is
available while supplies last, July 21-23. You must complete a form in advance to receive product.
