Help Provide Masks and Gloves
Longmont Recreation and Senior Services staff and CERT volunteers will host the last of four mask-and-glove drives on Saturday, May 2, to benefit Longmont’s senior citizens and vulnerable adults, Meals on Wheels volunteers, and first responders, among others. This event will be held in the parking lot of the Longmont Recreation Center, 310 Quail Road, from 10 am to 2 pm. The drive-up event accepts donations of homemade fabric masks, masks intended for commercial use (N95, KN95, FFP2, surgical masks), goggles that seal to the face, face shields, non-latex, and nitrile gloves. All items should be in new condition, and all except homemade masks should be in original packaging. If you have questions regarding donations, call 303-651-8411 or email senior@LongmontColorado.gov.

Stay Safe Outside
As the weather warms and more people take to our trails and greenways, please continue to follow social distancing and common safety guidelines. Wear a mask and stay at least six feet away from those who are not part of your household. These actions protect others as much as they protect you. If your dog is enjoying a walk with you, keep it on a leash (it’s the law) and try to keep the leash reined in so as not to impede cyclists or others passing you. And if you’re listening to music, consider using only the right earbud so you can hear people passing on your left. Stay safe out there!
