Local Girl Scouts have been making cloth masks to distribute around town to help combat the spread of COVID-19, which are still available for those who would like to order one.

Fountain Hills Girl Scouts believe people in their community may need help getting masks. They have been making facemasks for any individual in Fountain Hills needing one until their supplies run out. Call FHGS neighborhood manager Nita Blose at 480-296-3101 to place an order and arrange for drop off.

Blose notes that the facemasks are free.

“Should you want to pay it forward to others in need, Girl Scouts are collecting non-perishable food items to donate to Extended Hands Food Bank,” she added. “If interested in helping our local food bank, have your items ready when Girl Scouts drop off the facemasks to your front porch. In order to adhere to social distancing, they will not be handing them out person to person.”

Blose said they can currently provide one mask per person.

“Our intent was to give each person two masks each; one for washing while the other is available to wear.” Blose said. “Unfortunately, due to delay in elastic supplies arriving, we will only be able to give one per person to start with.”
