Sewing and Donating Face Masks
Always Quilting (alwaysquiltingonline.com) has provided the following links for those of you who would like to make and donate masks. Although these masks are not a suitable substitute for proper PPE, some may provide an extra layer of protection and are better than nothing as supplies dwindle. These mask patterns are provided to make masks for donation only. The designs belong to the designers and they cannot be made for profit or to be sold. We thank all of these designers and companies for providing these patterns.
As of March 23, the following hospitals in the San Francisco Bay Area have requested homemade masks due to a shortage of proper PPE (personal protective equipment): Mills-Peninsula, Kaiser Oakland.
