Library Opportunity: Join Color and the CDC to increase free access to COVID-19 testing

Color Health is collaborating with the CDC to bring no cost COVID-19 testing to at-risk people in under-resourced communities. They are partnering with organizations like libraries nationwide to better serve communities with low testing access, rural locations, and/or neighborhoods with high social vulnerability index. More than 200 libraries are already set up as test distribution nodes and Color is looking to have over 1,000 sites set up in the next month. For more details, view the press release.

Low-effort. Minimal contact. No certifications needed.
Color is making it as easy as possible for sites to increase access to this critical healthcare service by taking care of much of the operations and costs needed to set up the program. They do need help from sites to distribute and package kits for shipping. So, in addition to the opportunity to be a part of a groundbreaking program, participating sites receive compensation for participating in the program, including a sign up bonus, a monthly fee, and a bonus for every completed test returned to Color from your site.

What are the requirements for testing sites?
  • Host a pick-up and drop-off bin inside or outside your location with the free PCR tests
  • Participants collect their PCR kit, self-swab, and drop in the drop-off bin
  • Easily and safely pack up samples to ship with provided materials in a timely manner
