Indio, CA: The City of Indio’s COVID-19 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Business Assistance Program will open up this month, providing free PPE (gloves and 3-ply disposable masks) to eligible Indio businesses on a first-come, first-served basis to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

This program is funded through the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, as approved by the City Council, and is made possible via the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Recovery (CARES) Act.

Non-Residential Businesses, such as restaurants, retail stores, offices, convenience markets, and other businesses (including non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations) are eligible to receive PPE through Indio’s program.

To receive PPE for your business, check the City’s website for an online form, available mid-September. If you are unable to complete the online form, or for more information about the City’s PPE program, contact program coordinator Juan Rodriguez at (760) 391-4028 or by email at jrodriguez@indio.org
