Do You Need Masks?

Through this corona virus pandemic, protective masks are recommended (in some places mandated), yet may be difficult to acquire.  The FSRC is able to make surgical masks available to protect you and your family, relatives, and friends. These are offered as a community service for your convenience. 

Masks can be ordered in sleeves of 10 masks (sorry, no single masks) or in boxes of 50 individual masks. Masks are in stock ready to ship. Cost is $15 per sleeve of 10, or $67 per box of 50 including shipping, handling and credit card fees.  Order your mask today!

PLEASE NOTE:These are surgical masks; not N95 respirators. This is a link to a third party supplier. The FSRC is not responsible for the quality or performance of this product.
