Take action to slow the spread of #COVID19 by wearing a cloth face covering in public spaces, keeping at least 6 feet of physical distance, & frequently washing your hands. You can make a cloth face covering from a t-shirt, scarf or cloth napkin. If you are looking to purchase a mask, #supportlocal by purchasing your mask from one of the local individuals or businesses below.
Important! Masks are not a replacement for practicing physical distancing from others, staying home, or washing your hands. Please don't use surgical or N-95 masks-first responders and medical professionals need these.
