Actor Matthew McConaughey and Wife Donate 80K Face Masks to First Responders

Actor Matthew McConaughey—alongside his wife, Camila Alves McConaughey—personally delivered thousands of protective masks to police and fire stations in Austin on Thursday.

According to People.com , the McConaugheys are "working closely with Bethenny Frankel's disaster relief initiative BStrong to ensure first responders across the United States are getting masks and supplies they need to stay safe throughout this crisis."

The couple plans to travel to New Orleans to distribute protective gear there as well.

"Matt and I were able to get approximately 80,000 masks, and it's a combination of surgical masks and KN95 masks that will be distributed between Austin and New Orleans, where they were getting hit pretty hard as well," Camila told the leisure and entertainment publication late last week.

Camila said further, "We are delivering stuff to the Police Department in Austin, and then the Fire Department and Sheriff's Department as well. We are making sure the Austin area is covered in that sense and then New Orleans will be getting them in just a few days."
