NIAGARA COUNTY, N.Y. (WKBW) — Leaders in Niagara County are holding several mask and hand sanitizer giveaways all throughout the county beginning on Monday.

"This time, we decided to hold multiple events in a week and include some new locations to reach people who may not have been able to take advantage of previous giveaways."
