LOCKPORT, N.Y. (WKBW) — If your kid needs a mask for the start of school, Niagara County wants to help by giving them away for free starting Wednesday.

The county is holding a drive-thru mask giveaway from Wednesday through Friday, September 4th at the Public Safety Training Facility on the Niagara Street Extension in Lockport.

The county also released a video showing kids how they can safely tie-dye their masks.

“With school beginning, we want to continue to remind children of the importance of wearing masks and also try to make it fun with the video on how they can tie-dye their masks,” said Niagara County Legislature Chair Becky Wydysh. “We always have had a strong response to our mask giveaways and this will be the first one targeted toward children as we will giveaway white masks with beads to do the tie-dying.”

The giveaway is happening at the following dates and times

  • Wednesday, September 2th from 2 to 5 p.m.
  • Thursday, September 3th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
  • Friday, September 4th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
