Wayne County CEOS News

WVU Extension Service employees, 4-H clubs, retirees, CEOS groups and others are assisting in the sewing, collecting and distributing masks to health care workers, seniors and other community members throughout the state. 

This is a collaborative effort with Senator Joe Manchin, United Way of West Virginia, West Virginia Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster, Philanthropy WV, Senior Corps, the Robert C. Byrd Institute, the Council of Churches and many others to encourage West Virginians to pitch in and help our doctors, nurses, health care workers and first responders on the front lines of this pandemic. You can drop off masks at various locations throughout the state.
