Per SFgate.com:

On Tuesday and Wednesday — the former NFL star’s 34th birthday was April 22 — Lynch and business partner Jeremy Castro drove around Oakland to distribute 40,000 free masks to residents and health care workers. They made drop-offs at Highland Hospital, the Alameda Food Bank, the Oakland Homeless Youth Alliance and Alameda Point Collaborative, a non-profit that works with homeless families to find housing and employment. Ten thousand of the masks were given to Highland Hospital.

 

Dressed in a bright red tracksuit and a little birthday crown, the running back also made mask deliveries on a Beast Mode cargo scooter. Vintage Lynch.

SFgate added: In addition to the Oakland deliveries, Lynch and Castro crossed the bridge to give out more masks to a few San Francisco non-profits and Coffee Cultures, a coffeeshop on 9th and Mission.
