With the support of these groups, Peterborough Social Services will be providing about 5,000 face coverings to community agencies for distribution to clients. Anyone who wants to contribute new, unused face coverings, including homemade face coverings, can drop the items off at the Peterborough Public Health office at 185 King St.
”Working together has kept our numbers down,” says Warden J. Murray Jones. “I am so proud of our full community for following the new policies and procedures Peterborough Public Health has put in place.”
“We’re working with our community partners to make sure that anyone who needs a face covering can get one,” adds Mayor Diane Therrien. “Once again, community groups such as the Kinsmen Club and organizations such as Kawartha Food Share are stepping up to help our fellow residents through this pandemic.”
