Narrative:
Lead flight attendant brought to attention of flight deck crew that she had requested ppe and it was not delivered. We requested through operations that we needed ppe for fas. Cockpit crew gave our bag of gloves to fas while we waited. Gloves delivered to fas; but were extra small and did not fit. Called operations said they were all out of proper sized gloves and they were on back order. I advised lead flight attendant (she was upset) wanted to know name of station manager. I advised her to write [a] report and I would write report. No conflict with flight attendant and cockpit crew.
