Business owners and their staff can drive through one of two city facilities starting at 1 p.m., according to a news release from the city of Austin’s Economic Development Department.
“Austin’s local small businesses play a large role in stopping the spread of COVID-19,” Chief Economic Recovery Officer Veronica Briseño said. “These resources help keep businesses open and customers safe.”
Two city-owned buildings will host the drive-thrus: the city of Austin African-American Cultural and Heritage Facility at 912 E. 11th St. and the city of Austin Economic Development Department Offices at 5202 E. Ben White Blvd.
These drive-thru distributions are designed to support local small businesses and organizations, but Austin Public Health hosts other free Personal Protection Equipment distribution events for anyone to pick up.
