Lecrae Launches “Mask For the People” With Live Free USA
Grammy Award-winning artist Lecrae started an initiative with Live Free USA called “Mask For the People” to bring masks to Incarcerated People in Georgia. By doing this they were able to provide 70,000 masks to those in incarceration.

He established personal hand sanitizer throughout Atlanta for the homeless and those who are directly impacted by Coronavirus. Also he managed to place portable handwashing stations around Metro Atlanta so people can practice safety precautions during the pandemic.
The partnership was announced June 1st and since then have contributed to providing over to provide 70,000 masks and raise almost $50,000 which went to providing those masks and sanitizers.
