Face mask distribution
InMaricopa will hand out free face masks on Wednesday from 9 to 10 a.m.

Since the Friday expiration of the stay-at-home order, it seems like many Maricopans are exercising caution and limiting their trips out.

But if you need to get out, InMaricopa will again distribute free surgical-style masks to help you and your family stay safe.

Face masks will be handed out from 9 to 10 a.m. Wednesday during a drive-thru in the parking lot of our offices at 44400 W. Honeycutt Road. Please enter the lot from the westernmost driveway, stay in your vehicle and proceed slowly to the canopy where an InMaricopa.com staffer will distribute masks to you.

Arizona is not requiring residents to wear masks when they go out in public during the health crisis. But federal health officials say they are a highly effective way to slow the spread of the virus and recommends people wear them when out in public.

InMaricopa has, so far, handed out thousands of masks to residents needing them. (See video below from one of our distributions.)

We encourage all residents who do not have face mask protection to stop by this morning.
