CONNSTEP and CBIA are working together with the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services, the Connecticut Hospital Association, and others to organize resources to serve the urgent needs of those on the frontline battling COVID-19.
If you are a company with available materials and/or production capacity, we may be able to use your resources. And, if you can offer supplies or need supplies you are at the right place to be connected.
Simply complete and submit the form applicable to your need or offer and then we will evaluate your submission and get back to you as quickly as we can.
The allocated amount of surgical masks for eligible essential small businesses and infrared thermometers for small businesses, nonprofits and houses of worship have been met. Therefore, the request portals have been closed. If you have already submitted a request, delivery may take up to two weeks. If after two weeks you do not receive your requested supplies please email: [email protected].
If your small business, non-profit, or house of worship is in need of PPE or supplies, the state of Connecticut has established a listing of vendors currently manufacturing and sourcing these critical items. https://portal.ct.gov/DECD/Content/Coronavirus-Business-Recovery/Small-Business-Reopening-Resource-Guide/Suppliers
