The CFDA is continuing to share resources, contacts and related information so the industry can help combat the COVID-19 coronavirus crisis. Stay up to date here.

Among the most critical needs right now are resources to aid the shortage of essential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) products. Resources needed to aid the production of these products include both the materials needed to produce the goods as well as facilities and workers who can manufacture them.

To help make easier connections for the industry to key agencies at both the city and state level, as well as other various organizations leading these efforts, here is whom you can directly communicate with.

The CFDA and these agencies are vetting emails as quickly as possible, but it may take some time for us to reply to your emails.
