Boost: Free Bulk Covid tests

[sonia]

I don't know if this actually (still) works, but it seems worth rebroadcasting. Anyone here connected with mutual aid orgs or large singing groups or a school or want to distribute handfuls of tests to everyone they meet? Let me know if you try this and it works!

Free Bulk Covid Tests by toothsalad. Has several reblogs with comments saying it worked.

Anyone in my geographic area need free Covid tests? There is a program through which any interested individual or group can get free Covid tests from the National Stockpile upon request.

The difficulty is that you have to take 300 tests minimum.

These have an expiration date of May 2025.

If any of my followers are connected to food pantries or mutual aid orgs, a friend of mine just found a bulk order form for free covid tests from HHS and it seems to have worked. There is a minimum quantity of 300 tests and no required proof of affiliation, so you could just get them and distribute them to your community (as my friend is doing).

Actually yes. Yes I can and do. I have 4 HUGE Little Free Libraries, they each hold 300 books. They now each hold 100 COVID tests.
Thank you so much!
