HOMEMADE MASKS STILL NEEDED
|
|
|
|
|
Our community members and partners are continuing to ask for homemade masks. If you have homemade masks that you would like to donate, please take them to your local fire department or to Knox Area Transit. The masks do not have to be any design in particular - all homemade mask donations are graciously accepted!

WEAR THE MASK TO PROTECT OHIOANS
|
|
|
|
|
Face masks in retail settings are strongly recommended, not mandated. Please understand, if you can wear a mask, you should. Wearing a mask helps to protect the most vulnerable among us. Some places have required their employees to wear a mask, but not all.
