in Community/Featured/Headline/Uncategorized

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.

A Google search on how to sew masks at home drawe a lot of resources, including this video below.
