Durham Nonprofits Encouraged to Complete Mask Request Form

County to distribute FEMA masks to local nonprofits through July

Durham, N.C. - Durham County Government is asking any interested nonprofit based in and serving the Durham community to complete a short form online to request reusable cloth face masks.

Once mask requests are received and reviewed, County staff will contact nonprofit representatives with further instructions on scheduling a pickup appointment.

Masks are to be used primarily for nonprofit staff and volunteers and may be used for unmasked clients as well. Contactless, drive-through mask distribution events will take place at the Durham Convention Center on select dates through July. Masks will be available while supplies last.

Durham County recently received a shipment of reusable cloth face masks from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for distribution to area nonprofits. This distribution effort supports the Durham<https://www.dconc.gov/Home/ShowDocument?id=32304> and state<https://files.nc.gov/governor/documents/files/EO147-Phase-2-Extension.pdf> orders requiring the wearing of masks in public in order to limit the spread of COVID-19.
