MERRICK, NY — As more people gather indoors amid the delta variant of COVID-19, the Town of Hempstead is providing a free supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) to small businesses and houses of worship. Volunteer fire departments and non-profit organizations can also benefit from the supplies. The giveaway is set for Wednesday, Sept. 22 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and again this weekend from 9 a.m to 1 p.m. on both days at 2550 Clubhouse Rd. in Merrick. "Small businesses and community organizations have been on the front lines throughout the pandemic," Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin said in a statement. "We thank them for their efforts and want to do our part to support them as they work hard to serve fellow neighbors safely and conveniently." The town is handing out PPE kits, masks, hand sanitizer and wipes. Equipment will be available as long as the supply lasts.
