Great news: Free KN95 masks are now available from public health vending machines in NYC.

This is amazing work! Not everyone can afford to buy high quality masks regularly. If we want more people to wear masks, high quality masks should be available for free everywhere. Having them in public health vending machines in NYC is a great first step!

Our local Walmart has no medical-grade N95s in the pharmacy department and refers inquiries to the hardware department.

The masks there are for working in dusty environments. They are labeled as N95, but some include the valves that allow easy discharge of air.

Project N95 was the trusted nonprofit source for N95 masks, air quality products, and other respiratory protection. We donated over 5 million masks and other units of PPE to help keep people and communities safe through the COIVD-19 pandemic and beyond.

Thanks. I have what I need for now, but no ability to resupply locally.
