The City of Las Cruces will hold its third, FREE drive-thru mask distribution event on Wednesday, October 14, from 5 - 7 p.m. at Field of Dreams, 2300 Tashiro Drive. This event will also include free COVID-19 testing.
Reusable masks for adults and paper masks for kids will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis as part of the City’s ongoing campaign – Mask Up Las Cruces. Las Crucens who are interested in getting screened for coronavirus will have an opportunity to do so at the drive-thru event.
The public will enter off Tashiro Drive, then follow the signage through the distribution site. There will be a limit of one kit of reusable masks per person in the car, each kit contains 5 cloth masks. There is no cost, or registration required to pick up a mask or get tested, 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 and social distancing requirements will be observed at all times.
Two additional “Mask Up Las Cruces” mask distribution events are scheduled for November and December; details will be announced closer to the event dates.
