Face Masks for NEPA
April 10, 2020A community mask-making initiative led by Lisa Glover and realized by volunteer cutters, sewers, donors and 3D printers is in full swing. There is a significant amount of orders from various community organizations and persons in need of masks, such as The Cooperage Project, Wayne County First Responders, and food drive volunteers.
“The sheer size of requests has risen dramatically in the past week, while our sewing-volunteers have not quite kept pace,” says Lisa.
If you can do either or both, please contact olga@seedsgroup.net.
The current cost per mask is $2 per for scarce supplies, which can be waived if businesses and individuals donate materials needed to sew the masks.
