St. Louis County Partners With Area Fire Stations For A Mask Drive

Masks collected through this drive are being donated for use at living facilities.

HERMANTOWN, Minn. -Face masks are still in high demand as the Coronavirus Pandemic continues across the nation.

To help minimize the need, St. Louis County is partnering with area fire departments to collect masks.

Masks collected through this drive are being donated for use at living facilities such as long-term care housing and senior homes.

When Minnesota Governor Tim Walz implemented a statewide mask drive more than 200 masks were donated at the Hermantown fire department.

This time around, the fire department believes they could receive thousands.

“It’s a strong feeling. It’s a good emotional support knowing that the community is getting together and helping out everybody that they can, “said Hermantown Firefighter Steve Johnson.

Masks can be dropped off at designated fire halls in St. Louis County.
