SOUTHFIELD, Mich. The Southfield chapter of My Brothers Keeper (MBK) is going to provide free face coverings and hand sanitizer to youth in the area on Saturday. The event runs from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. in the circle driveway of the Southfield Parks and Recreation building at 26000 Evergreen Road. The program, Mask with a Message, will provide 5 to 18 year olds free supplies while they last on a first-come-first-serve basis. "We are all adjusting to the new normal brought upon by the novel coronavirus," commented JoAnne Gurley, MBK Program Coordinator. Since it has been mandated that face coverings be worn in public places by the State of Michigan as well as national and local health departments, it is imperative that our youth have the proper protection to stay safe this summer."
