San Mateo County Health Foundation CEO John Jurow is calling on crafty community members to help sew masks for local outreach workers who are assisting the homeless during the COVID-19 crisis.
Masks are badly needed, Jurow said on Facebook. The Foundation will arrange to pick them up from homes.
“If you can sew 1 to many extra please reach out,” Jurow said, providing his email contact: jjurow@smcgov.org.
In addition to helping to protect outreach workers, the masks will also go to various homeless shelters in the County for immediate use.
