The City of Las Cruces will hold a FREE drive-thru mask distribution event from 6 - 8 p.m. on Thursday, September 3, at the parking lot of Doña Ana Community College (DACC), 2800 Sonoma Ranch Blvd.
The event is part of the City's ongoing campaign: Mask Up Las Cruces. More than 5,000 reusable masks will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis in partnership with DACC.
“The fight against coronavirus is not over,” said Lynn Gallagher, Quality of Life Director. “Wearing a mask reduces everyone’s risk for infection.”
The public will be able to enter through the DACC main entrance off Sonoma Ranch, then follow the signage to the distribution site. There is no cost, registration or ID required to pick up a mask, but community members must remain in their vehicles and roll down their windows as they approach the distribution tables. No walk-ups or bicyclists will be permitted.
In compliance with all public health orders, staff and volunteers will be wearing personal protective equipment. Census takers will also be on site helping community members answer their 2020 Census.
