From the Senator, June 30:
“As businesses and offices continue to re-open in our county, it is important they have the necessary equipment to keep everyone safe.
To fulfill that need, I am pleased to announce that my office is now distributing masks in bulk to local community organizations, nonprofits, religious organizations, and businesses in the 35th Senate District. We especially want to ensure we reach organizations that serve vulnerable populations such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and groups that serve people with disabilities. These masks are not for medical use; they are washable, reusable, and made out of cotton.
If your organization (or if you know of one) would like to request masks, please click on this form with your preferred pick-up date and time and the number of masks you are requesting. Each box contains 500 but you may request more or less. Masks come packaged in groups of 5. A member of my staff will follow up to coordinate pick up at my district office in Yonkers. We will try to fulfill every order but may have to limit amounts given out.
I am hopeful that our mask distribution effort will help others stay healthy. It is precisely because we continue to practice social distancing and wearing masks that Westchester’s (and the State’s) active COVID cases have seen a decline.
I thank the Governor’s Office for their assistance in procuring these masks. As always, if there are other issues that my office can assist with, please don’t hesitate to call us at 914-423-4031 or email us, scousins@nysenate.gov.”
