NEWS FROM THE 15th DISTRICT

Dear Friends,

On January 18th, President Biden announced that the Federal Government will be sending over 400 million NIOSH-approved N95 respirator masks across the United States. On January 20th, these free medical grade masks began shipping out to retail pharmacies and community health centers in our very own community. 

Every South Texan will be able to receive three masks at no charge at their local pharmacies and community health centers. You can find a place to receive your masks in South Texas here.
