***Sew Masks***
The Sewing Masks Project in So VT/SW NH Area would like to invite you to join us! We’ve made over 11,000 masks so far, and counting! We can offer you resources such as kits*, fabric and elastic, help you answer any questions you may have about sewing masks, and offer moral support and camaraderie along the way. *(Kits for kids’ masks may be available at some of the supply depots. Check here to find out: https://tinyurl.com/y7f5x46o)
Sign up to sew for a school on our signup sheet here: https://signup.com/go/cLBaftz so that we can keep track of how many masks have been donated to each school so far, and which sizes of mask are still needed.
For Dropoff info and more info specific to each school, see the signup sheet: https://signup.com/go/cLBaftz

(Child sized masks should have elastic loops, no ties (choking hazard). All masks should be made of 2 layers of tightly woven 100% cotton quilting fabric.)
