INDIANAPOLIS — Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana is the latest to distribute free face masks with the Marion County requirement going into effect on Thursday.
Gleaners and the City of Indianapolis partnered to make the masks available to those receiving food assistance at local pantries.
The City has previously announced partnerships with the Red Cross and IndyGo to distribute face coverings.
“Safety and service are our top priorities to the residents we serve, especially during this pandemic,” said John Elliott, Gleaners president and CEO. “We are glad to serve alongside the City to provide this necessary resource to keep our residents safe.”
Gleaners is using its network of agencies countywide to distribute the masks by request.
Those needing a free face covering can request one at indy.gov/masks.
