Note that although the official release claims that there are “18” places listed, only 13 could be found. 

Entrepreneurs with Santa Monica business licenses are invited to join the list of retailers. They are asked to email buylocalsm@smgov.net and mention the items for sale and their cost, how to purchase the products, and the business name with contact information.

Only curbside pickup is allowed for in-person purchasing.

A tip from the City regarding buying items is to “email or call ahead to confirm availability and pricing. For many retailers (above), selling PPE has not been their usual focus. Please stay kind and patient during your inquiries!” The City also suggests following @BUYLOCALSM on Twitter.
