New
Orleans City Council Councilmember-At-Large Helena Moreno is teaming up with
organizations and community partners to give out 10,000 Hanes facial coverings
to
residents citywide, this Friday, May 29, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., by drive or
walk-up.
"Wearing
a mask helps keep our neighbors and friends safe, so I'm partnering with some
of our community's most energetic and civic-minded organizations to make it easy
to #maskup," Councilmember Moreno said. "We've made great progress
against this pandemic, which has allowed our city to slowly open up. But to
sustain that progress, everyone must do their part to keep each other safe and
healthy. As the CDC notes, masks and social distancing are the strongest tools
available to all of us to keep our positive momentum going."

Organization (IWO)
