WATCH: How To Get A Free Face Cover

SAN ANGELO, TX -- With the rise in COVID-19 cases in San Angelo and the Concho Valley the importance to wear face covers is highly recommended to prevent the spread of the novel Coronavirus.

On Saturday, November 14, The Hispanic Heritage Committee will be distributing free masks to the youth of San Angelo. The objective of Covers for Kids! Youth Face Mask Distribution is to provide free protection to students whose families do not have the means to purchase multiple face coverings. Masks may become lost or forgotten, adding stress and worry for parents/guardians.

The Hispanic Heritage Committee seeks to alleviate some of these concerns for our community. The facemasks are designed to protect against dust, germs, and infectious diseases. Lanyards will be distributed along with the face coverings as an attachment to avoid misplacement and for easy removal during lunch hours.

The distribution will be held via drive-through service from 10 am to 4 pm at the Railway Museum of San Angelo located at 703 S. Chadbourne.

The Railway Museum of San Angelo will be holding a Living History Tour on this day, and will also be providing free admission to the first 75 children who visit the museum.
