The Clark County Emergency Management Agency will be distributing free masks to residents this week.

The EMA will host three distribution events this week in Springfield. At the events, each household will receive a box of 50 disposable face masks.

“As the vaccine continues to roll out in Clark County, wearing a mask and maintaining social distance is still the most important thing you can do to slow the spread of COVID,” EMA Director Michelle Clements-Pitstick said. “It’s important Clark County residents continue to stay vigilant in wearing masks according to CDC requirements until we reach the finish line in battling the virus.”

Events will be held:

  • 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday in the parking lot of the former Kroger building located at 1822 S. Limestone St.
  • 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday in the parking lot of the Southern Village Shopping Center located at 1121 Sunset Ave.
  • 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday at the Burnett Plaza Shopping Center located at 440 S. Burnett Rd.

Masks are also available for pick up from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily at the EMA’s office located near the Clark County Sheriff’s Office East District office at the Springview Government Center at 3130 E. Main St.

Daycare centers, non-profit organizations, home healthcare agencies and other Clark County entities in need of PPE can email mclements-pitstick@clarkcountyohio.gov or call 937-521-2176.
