On Wednesday, July 22; Thursday, July 23; and Friday, July 24, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., child care operators will have the opportunity to drive up and receive an infrared, no-touch thermometer; gloves for diaper changes and cleaning; hand sanitizer; disinfectant; reusable cloth masks; reusable clear plastic face shields; and one case of tissues at no cost to them. 

All licensed child care providers in Allegheny County are eligible to receive cleaning supplies and safety equipment.  Providers must have their tax identification (EIN) numbers ready for staff at the distribution site.

To ensure that enough supplies are at each distribution location, ELRC Region 5 is asking providers to sign up for the pickup location of choice via the PPE Supply Pickup Form. Every provider must sign up separately. Those with multiple locations should sign up for each program and specify the program name.

Maps with directions for each site is available on Trying Together’s website.

The purchase and distribution of supplies is made possible through the generous support of local foundations. For more information, call 412.350.3577 or visit elrc5.alleghenycounty.us.
