ALLEGAN, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Allegan County Health Department will have free adult KN95 masks available for community members to pick up starting today.
Health department officials say their goal is to get the masks to those in the community to replace less effective masks such as cloth. They also say it would be helpful if community organizations would be willing to redistribute the masks. If community organizations would like to participate, they can complete this form (https://bit.ly/3rGV0D8), and pick up the the masks the next business day after request.
