The Southwest Oregon Workforce Investment Board is providing small businesses with bulk free masks, gloves and sanitizer on Monday, December 21st.

Annie Donnelly from the SOWIB said the one-day distribution will be at South Umpqua Rentals in Myrtle Creek. Its designed to help small businesses to get stocked up for the winter months ahead.

Small business owners or staff are asked to arrive in vehicles that can easily be loaded by volunteers. Those participating are encouraged to arrive before loading begins at 10:00 a.m. Pickup service will continue only while supplies last, and will end no later than 3:00 p.m.

Donnelly said all drivers and passengers picking up supplies must wear face masks when interacting with volunteers, and should bring a business card.

South Umpqua Rentals is at 140 North Pacific Highway. Email info@sowib.org for more information.
