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 drop off location will be set up at the Somerset County Public Works Garage, located at 410 Roycefield Rd., Hillsborough 08844. Drop offs will be accepted between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., starting Monday, March 23.  Donations will be accepted through Friday, March 28.
