SPRINGFIELD, Ore. – The City of Springfield and the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce will be hosting free face mask pick-up days over the coming weeks for small businesses in the community.
Any small businesses -- 50 employees or fewer -- currently operating in Springfield will be eligible for one-time pick-up from either Springfield City Hall or the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce offices.
These masks have been provided by Business Oregon and are meant for either business employees or patrons, at the discretion of the business, and are not medical grade.
Pick-up days will be weekly beginning Aug. 11 from 2 to 4 p.m. and will continue each Tuesday through October or while supplies are available.
Businesses will be asked to provide a business name, their business’s physical address, and minimal contact information for verification of being located in Springfield.
Per state mandate, masks will be required for entry into both Springfield City Hall and the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce buildings.
