A woman in our community sent out an email asking if anyone would be willing to help make masks for the fire department. About fifty people showed up . Jobs includEd getting supplies, cutting,washing, ironing and sewing. We made over 700 masks in about one week. One woman washed, ironed,and individually bagged them all. 160 went to fire department, ten went to our office and restaurant staff, the rest were given out to members of the community and to nursing homes.
Unasked, over a thousand dollars was donated by members of the community who didn’t volunteer their time. None of that money was needed for the masks as people donated material, cord, pipe cleaners, etc. so a check was sent to the food bank for $1066 from the community. I feel so fortunate to live in this community.
i had to go to my orthopedic doctor and a mask was required.
