It’s an idea for another Facebook group that didn’t start in this area, but flourished in this area. A local Facebook group called “Masks for a Mission” has members who made a total of 10,000 cloth face masks since COVID-19 started impacting in the area. Alicia Empson, the assistant manager of JoAnn Fabrics in Galesburg, is one of the founders of the group, and talked with Will Stevenson on Galesburg’s Evening News. (Photo courtesy Alicia Empson)
