The free mask giveaway is set for Tuesday afternoon

It's part of a five million mask donation from MedSup Canada to the Niagara Health Foundation.

Port Colborne received 60,000 of the non medical masks and have already donated some to community partners

But on Tuesday, March 9th, between 4 and 6 pm, firefighters will hand them out to residents at their Fire Station on Killaly Street West.

It will be a drive thru event and at no point will participants need to leave their vehicles.

Residents will receive a package containing 50 masks.

Firefighters will also be collecting non-perishable food items in support of Port Cares.
