Melissa Elliott, Henderson City Council member and founder of Gang Free, Inc., appeared on WIZS Town Talk Tuesday at 11 a.m.

In the first segment of the interview, Elliott announced Gang Free’s partnership with the City of Henderson, County of Vance and other community partners in the four-county area of Vance, Granville, Warren and Franklin to bring residents free face masks to protect against COVID-19.

Filling out a recent request with FEMA for masks to distribute to the community, Elliott said the agency more than delivered. “They backed up a transfer truck to my house with 40,000 masks,” said Elliott. “The masks have now been given to various locations for distribution. We want to get them in the hands of our citizens.”
