Like everyone, we've been having a hard time finding the quality masks and rapid tests we need to keep our staff safe during this latest surge. So when we realized we could bulk buy both online from reputable manufacturers, we decided to order enough to share with our community. So far we've handed out 250 free KN95 respirators and today we started giving away no-cost rapid tests!

We've got a limited number of COVID antigen test kits available at our bookstore and we want to prioritize folks who are having trouble accessing them elsewhere. While supplies last, drop by Firestorm and grab a box with two tests! (Note: If you're feeling under the weather and need tests, please send a friend or call ahead so that we can safely pass them off outside.)

Want to help us with the cost or pay it forward for another round of free tests and PPE? We're taking donations to cover the $600 worth of tests we're giving away—anything we collect over that will go into buying another round. Donations can be sent via Venmo (@FirestormCoop) or Cash App ($FirestormCoop) with "tests" in the note.
