Procuring Affordable PPE Products & Services
The Putnam County Reopen Task force has been meeting regularly. Many initiatives to help Reopen Putnam safely are coming out as a result. One initiative being launched today is a countywide resource list for businesses to use to find all they need to put their safety plans into action.
P
The mission of the resource list is to support local businesses when possible as well as to support Chamber of Commerces and Business council member businesses.
P
Everyone should be wary of counterfeit or scam companies selling PPE supplies. Phase 2 and 3 should be ordering NOW as delivery times have slowed since Covid-19. www.PPE-supply.co is also a great alternative as they have been in the medical supply biz for more than a decade, their supplies are CDC/FDA approved. FREE SHIPPING and most everything is in stock and they have a speedy turnaround.
P
We want to grow this list so if you have any ideas or want to add a business or service or Putnam based supplier please email us at info@putnamcountybusinesscouincil.com, A special Thank You To Rose Agleico From The Brewster Chamber of Commerce for pulling this together.
