This notice comes from Dr. Roger Rennekemp, Extension Health Director:
Our colleagues in the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary of Preparedness and Response (ASPR), in partnership with USPS and the National Council of Textile Organizations, have offered the Partnership Center’s faith and community-based stakeholders additional free face coverings for distribution to your community members.
The order form is attached. Please fully complete the order form and return it to me at Heidi.Christensen@hhs.gov. We’ll accept your orders daily until Oct. 30, 2020 or while supplies last. Additional details below:
Please do not post this offer on social media - thank you!
• Face masks are 100% Cotton Jersey, bind around face and ear loops, and are treated with a 0.5% OWG Agion AMB-10 Antimicrobial (which is thought to remain on the face mask for up to 15 washings).
• They do not replace the N95 face mask used in healthcare settings and should not be used when caring for those with COVID-19. They are intended to expand the community’s capacity to limit the spread of COVID-19.
• The face masks come in cartons of 500 masks per carton. A palette contains 45 cartons (22,500 masks).
• It may take between 30 to 45 days to receive the face coverings from date of order.
• They will be shipped directly to your organization at no cost. Please note you will not receive a tracking number or be provided shipping alerts- so they will be delivered as you instructed without notice.
Please also note that our office will expedite your request but will not be shipping your order. Should you have questions about your order after 30 days, emailfacecoverhhsaspr@hhs.gov and make a direct inquiry. Otherwise, let me know if you have any questions about this opportunity.
With great thanks, Heidi
