Supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) are low due to the current public health crisis.

The types of PPE being requested include:
- Nitrile gloves (any size)
- Coveralls / tyvek suits / medical gowns (any sizes)
- Face shields / Goggles
- N95 masks
- P100 masks / Air Purifying Respirators
Only unexpired items will be accepted.
A dropoff location will be set up at the Somerset County Public Works Garage, located at
410 Roycefield Road, Hillsborough. Donations will be accepted between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. from March 23-28.
All employees and volunteers working at the drop-off location will be practicing social distancing and maintaining a space of six feet or more. Donors are asked to observe the same precautions.
