Free Face Coverings for Small Businesses & Their Employees

The City of New York will distribute more than 4 million face coverings citywide to small businesses and their employees as we move toward reopening the local economy. To get these resources to you and your employees, the NYC Department of Small Business Services and NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection are working with business-serving partner organizations throughout the five boroughs.

If you are a small business with fewer then 100 employees looking to secure free face coverings for your employees, click on the map below to find a distribution partner located near you. You should contact these partner organizations in advance to coordinate mask pick-ups or drop-offs, as most organizations have varying hours and abilities to distribute.

If you would like to purchase additional masks or other non-medical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the City has compiled a list of non-medical PPE manufacturers and suppliers. These companies are not endorsed by the City of New York.

Note: Distribution partners are only able to provide 5 masks per employee. These face coverings are for use by you and your employees, not your clients and customers. 

If you have additional questions or concerns about re-opening or operating your small business, visit nyc.gov/business or call 888-SBS-4NYC (888-727-4692).
