While Williamsville clarifies, urges mask compliance at businesses, 'free your face' protesters say Erie County businesses may see them maskless, or not at all

Opinions on Erie County’s recent mask mandate led to confusion in the Village of Williamsville last week, and Deputy Mayor Matthew Etu is working to make sure it’s clear the village complies. But as small communities voice their compliance, or concern, a group of protesters are saying businesses and communities might see them either maskless, or not at all. WBFO’s Emyle Watkins has the latest on how the mandate is putting businesses in the middle of a debate.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Erie County Department of Senior Services is offering a frozen meal pick up program at senior centers across the county to any Erie County resident age 60 and up.
Seniors can choose between a 3, 5, 6, 8, or 10-meal pack that can be picked up once a week from participating senior centers.
Each meal will include a milk, a roll, and a dessert.
Erie County Senior Services Commissioner David J. Shenk said, “The Frozen Meal Pick-Up Program is a great option to reduce food insecurity among older adults especially during the pandemic and winter season. Through the weekly pickup, staff is also able to provide a brief wellness check in an effort to combat social isolation. We will also continue to offer monthly nutrition handouts and updates on upcoming events within the department to encourage seniors to stay connected.”
