The Nebraska Health Care Association has a goal of collecting 5,000 cloth face masks by 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Director of Membership and Marketing, Khristine Gilroy-Johnson, says they are looking for a specific type of mask to get to their facility in one of two ways.
People are asked to drop them in the available bin packaged five masks per zippered sandwich bag.
Gilroy-Johnson says the masks will be distributed to Nebraska nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospices.
She adds its very important for these places to have them.
