Hi Villagers! If you can sew, please consider making masks for the medical community. I will update as I receive information on where the masks can be donated/sent locally. You can also reach out to nursing homes near you to see if they will take donations. Please see the five links below.

- This link gives pattern info and locations where masks can be donated in NJ:
