The leader of Dudley Council has made a personal appeal for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Councillor Patrick Harley said the authority was still in need of visors, gloves, masks and other equipment for frontline workers, such as council social workers.
It comes as the government faces mounting criticism over concerns about supply of protective gear for frontline staff.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock says the government wants to engage with companies who can help with the PPE shortages.
Mr Harley also thanked those who had already donated PPE and praised the work of local manufacturing firm Thomas Dudley, who have invented a new tool to make face guards using plastic injection moulding.
