Online Portal for Personal Protective Equipment & Volunteers to support COVID-19 Outbreak

On Sunday, March 29, 2020, the Baker-Polito Administration announced an online portal where individuals and companies can easily donate or sell personal protective equipment (PPE) and volunteer to support the COVID-19 outbreak in Massachusetts. This effort will ensure that front line responders get the protective equipment they need and will match health and medical volunteers with our communities and health care providers based on skill sets and need.
