Face Masks

Residents who need facial coverings to help protect themselves and others from spreading the COVID-19 virus may get them free at nearly 30 sites throughout Polk County.

The Board, which purchased the masks for residents from funds available from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act grant, is providing disposable three-ply ear loop masks free to the public.

Residents may receive up to three masks per person. You may also pick up masks for a family member or someone unable to pick up for themselves. These masks are reusable until they become damaged, dirty or wet.

Distribution locations in municipalities will set their own hours when they are open to dispense masks.

Residents should direct questions regarding hours to their local sites.

Distribution at county offices may be expanded based upon demand, but the following Polk County sites will be open for mask distribution Monday – Friday, including:
