Both Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties have issued mask mandates for residents and business owners. The mandates stipulate that those entering an indoor public space must wear a mask. There are common sense exceptions which include medical conditions, and if the person is eating/drinking.

If you’re still in need of one, and would rather not craft one yourself (WATCH: CDC shows how to make your own mask at home) we’ve compiled a list of three ways you can get one in the Sunshine City right now:

Masks on the Buy Local Tampa Bay Market 

LocalShops1 is on a mission to boost the Tampa Bay economy. At the start of this pandemic Ester Venouziou launched a brand new online market, think like an Etsy or Amazon exclusively for Tampa Bay makers.

The organization has lofty goals. To help, I Love the Burg, along with That’s So Tampa, have partnered with LocalShops1 to launch the Million Dollar Mission. Infusing this much money into the local economy is simple math. In short, we need 50,000 people to each spend $20 (or more) with their favorite local makers and small businesses on our marketplace.

One of the featured items in the shop are locally made masks for both kids and adults. Many feature fun, locally inspired designs to help enliven your mask fashion.

You can see a full collection of masks available for pickup and delivery by clicking here.
