The White House announced Wednesday that it will send more than 25 million masks to community health centers and food pantries across the country, in an effort to increase access for low-income people.

"Many low-income Americans still lack affordable access to this basic protection," White House coronavirus response coordinator Jeff Zients said.

The shipments, beginning in March, will go to approximately 1,300 community health centers, as well as 60,000 food pantries and soup kitchens.

The packages of two masks will be cloth and washable, the White House said.
