Grateful for face mask donations; More are still needed for at-risk population
The need for face mask donations continues ... Waukon Economic Development, Lansing City Clerk Office, Postville City Clerk Office and Monona Chamber of Commerce are all grateful for all the homemade face masks they have received. They have each been collecting and sharing these masks with their local grocery stores who are then handing out these masks to those at risk, especially elderly customers. More donations, such as these masks pictured above, are still needed in an effort to help keep the community healthy. Submitted photo.

More donations are still needed in an effort to help keep the community healthy. Masks can be dropped off at the following locations:
· Waukon Chamber of Commerce/Economic Development Office (place in tote at front door, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. M-F)

· Postville City Office (Place in tote in front of police station door anytime)
· Monona Chamber of Commerce (place in drop off slot in front door anytime).
Once someone in this high-risk category receives a mask, they should keep laundering it and wearing anytime they have to enter public places. Any homemade masks can be left at one of the locations listed above. Masks will then be distributed as needed to the stores to help keep those at risk healthy and safe.
