Due to exceptional demand from organizations in need of KN-95 masks, our current supply of masks has been exhausted. We will re-open our request form once more masks are available from Erie County.

Individual community members should call 211 for help locating a mask distribution site. 

instructions for organizations

If you had previously requested masks through United Way of Buffalo & Erie County, we will contact you once your order is available. We will prioritize requests based first on our 16 high priority zip codes*, then by order of request.
