Fresno County in partnership with the City of Clovis, Clovis Chamber of Commerce, Fresno County EDC, and the Fresno Chamber of Commerce launched their Million Mask Giveaway program. 

The program was announced in a press conference on Tuesday, Oct. 27. It aims to provide free PPE and hand sanitizers for small businesses across the county. The program was made available by California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES).

During the press conference, Fresno County Supervisor Nathan Magsig thanked the partnerships with the chamber and EDC in order to make this giveaway happen.

“We can’t do this without partnerships,” said Magsig. “Our small businesses here in Fresno County continue to suffer…we can lift some of the burden from them, in this case, offering up masks and sanitizers, we want to do that.”

Magsig also added that the cost of masks and sanitizers isn’t cheap and can be costly to small businesses. With this program, it can help businesses not to have to worry about spending their own money on PPE. 

The Clovis Chamber of Commerce will be doing curb side pick up for masks and sanitizers. They are located on 325 Pollasky in Old Town Clovis. For more information, please contact Priscilla Montes at (559) 207-3865 or priscilla@clovischamber.com.
