Free Face Coverings Available for Benton County Small Businesses
August 14, 2020 - Benton County Emergency Management and the Corvallis-Benton County Economic Development Office have received a supply of face coverings from the State of Oregon to distribute to local businesses of 50 employees or less, with an emphasis on sole-proprietor businesses. Businesses may request 50 masks for use by their employees or customers.
The available face coverings are disposable and similar to single-use medical masks, which are durable but not recommended for washing. Face coverings will be delivered to businesses throughout the county on a first-come, first-served basis. This effort demonstrates our continued commitment to making all members and businesses of our community as safe as possible during these challenging times.
Instructions to Receive Face Coverings for Your Business:
- Fill out the request form at https://yescorvallis.org/resources/ or call the Benton County Call Center at 541-766-6120.
- The Economic Development Office will confirm your request and arrange for delivery of the masks to your business.
In addition to the face coverings that are available for businesses, Benton County is hosting a free mask distribution event for the entire community on August 22, 2020.
