Mask giveaway concludes

A line of vehicles stretched at times almost to the Farmerville Highway on Tuesday as Lincoln Parish residents claimed the last of the free, cloth facemasks made available through the Hanes clothing company. An additional 3,285 masks were handed out Tuesday at the Lincoln Parish Public Safety Complex with the help of sheriff’s deputies and member of the Ruston High School Cross Country team, including Caleb Babineaux, pictured above. The parish received and distributed approximately 21,380 of the reusable masks as its allotment from the Hanes donation. The company gave over 2 million masks to Louisiana for distribution statewide.
