St. Cloud Chamber of Commerce
The St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce will be receiving 128,000 one-time use paper masks from the State of Minnesota to distribute throughout the Stearns County. These masks are intended to be provided to customers entering your business who do not have a mask on in advance. We expect to receive the masks between July 29 - 31 and will be distributing them from Crossroads Center at a designated time on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please carefully consider your request, as we anticipate demand higher than supply. If you would like to secure masks, please email information@StCloudAreaChamber.com with the following details:
