PPE DistributionPierce County is using CARES Act funds to buy (personal protective equipment) PPE in bulk and get it in the hands of those who need it most. To help keep our community safe as we enter Phase 2, Pierce County distributed free PPE to first responders and local businesses. The free PPE distribution ensures those on the front line, as well as local businesses, stay safe while keeping our community healthy and in action. |
