The partnership will distribute 500 N95 masks, as well as provide resources, including support to acquire funding, for area entrepreneurs and startup businesses.

“We are thrilled to announce this partnership.”, said Ayanna Khan, DEBCC President and CEO. “This partnership will get badly needed PPE out to the community as our economy continues to reopen.
