The NWA COVID – 19 Task Force is comprised of area school, city, county, state, fire, police, and first responder representatives. This group has been virtually meeting during the COVID19 pandemic. The team is fighting the spread of the virus through collaboration across city and county lines.
As Arkansas looks toward school opening in August with some covering requirements in place, the NWA COVID-19 Task Force is asking for donations for masks for children and young adults. In collaboration with Sheep Dog Impact Assistance, the task force will be safely gathering the masks and dispersing to local school districts. These masks must be dropped off by August 7th to allow for time to properly organize. These can be homemade cloth masks or surgical masks. If you are able to drop off masks, please deliver to the below locations.
