Free N95 Masks Available Now At Wegmans In Cherry Hill

CHERRY HILL, NJ — The masks have landed. Free, government-provided N95 masks have arrived at all Wegmans locations, including Cherry Hill's store.

The White House planned to ship 400 million N95 masks to pharmacies across the nation, which are available for all Americans. Customers and patients can pick up a maximum of three masks per person.

Distribution began in late January. President Joe Biden's administration expected the program to become fully operational by early February.

All Wegmans stores have now received free K95 masks, the company announced Tuesday. Patrons can get up to three each while supplies last.

The Cherry Hill Wegmans is located at 2100 Route 70 West, Cherry Hill 08002. The phone number for this location is (856) 488-2700.

The CDC updated its face-covering guidance Jan. 14, clearly stating that properly fitted N95 and KN95 masks offer the most protection against COVID-19. The agency has no concerns over supply shortages of N95s but clarified Jan. 28 that "surgical N95s" should be reserved for health care settings. Find more mask guidance here.
