City of Monterey, Fisherman’s Wharf Association and Gathering for Women Team Up to Continue Distributing Free Paper Masks to Visitors to Old Fisherman’s Wharf this coming weekend June 27-28, 2020
June 23, 2020 Monterey, CA – The City of Monterey, Fisherman’s Wharf Association and Gathering for Women are continuing to conduct a special program to distribute paper masks to visitors to Old Fisherman’s Wharf who are not wearing them when they arrive at the Wharf. Volunteers from Gathering for Women will again be offering a free mask to visitors without masks on Saturdays and Sundays from Noon to 3 pm on June 27-28, 2020 at the head of the Wharf. Last weekend, over 2400 free masks were handed out to visitors and there was also hand sanitizer available on the table at the head of the Wharf, too.
According to City Manager Hans Uslar, “The number one priority is the public safety of our community, followed by supporting a robust local economic recovery. The pandemic caused a sudden and devastating hit to our feature hospitality attractions, including Old Fisherman's Wharf businesses. By teaming up with Fisherman’s Wharf Association to offer free paper masks, we discourage the transmission of the virus, and encourage the restoration of our popular hospitality business, resulting in satisfied visitor enjoyment."
Mary Alice Cerrito Fettis, President, Fisherman’s Wharf Association adds, “We encourage every employee and visitor to the Wharf and other public places to wear their own mask, yet we find that not everyone is doing so when they come to visit us. The best safety protocol to prevent the spread of COVID-19 recommended by the Monterey County Health Department and other health officials is to wear a mask to protect both yourself and others and practice 6-foot social distancing whenever possible. We are very grateful to the City of Monterey and Gathering for Women for their help in implementing this important proactive safety program during our most popular time of the year for visiting the City of Monterey and the Wharf.”
Gathering for Women’s Executive Director, Staci Alziebler-Perkins adds, “We are delighted to volunteer on site on the Wharf over the weekends to provide free masks to those without them. We also look forward to having the opportunity to share information about the important programs for homeless women at Gathering for Women in Monterey with the visitors to the Wharf.”
