Cobb Elections staff officials are seeking donations of homemade cloth masks for the county’s election workers to meet “a great need,” according to a county news release.
The Cobb County Elections Office needs 1,400 masks before the June 9 election to help protect poll workers.
Starting May 4, the elections office, 736 Whitlock Ave., Marietta, will have a donation bin at its entrance from noon to 1 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
Donated masks should be placed in plastic bags before leaving them in the bin.
Without a sewing machine but with two rubber bands, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams shows how to make a mask at twitter.com/Surgeon_General/status/1246428235883298816.
