Sewing Skills Needed to
Make Masks for Hospital Workers
4-H youth, parents, family members & friends: If you know how to sew, your skills are needed! Please volunteer your time to sew masks for hospital workers in Ventura County.
Material
: Use two or three layers of new, thick pieces of 100% cotton OR cotton/poly blend. Elastic disintegrates in hospital laundry autoclave, so we need ties for these masks. Karen Norman currently has fabric to share if you need some
karen.norman169@gmail.com
805-340-1737
There is a good chance these masks will be used for 5 months, so quality is more important than quantity. The goal is to produce 3,000 masks.
Drop off
at Trauma Nurse Gina Ferrer's home located at 765 Saratoga Avenue, Ventura CA 93003 (805-216-2165). Gina will drop off and distribute to health care workers at hospital to reduce your exposure.

Note
: Infection Control (along with the administration, doctors, and nurses) is thrilled with the quality of the masks produced so far. the processes are completely in place throughout hospitals on the use of these masks that are stellar best practices. Other hospitals are copying the best practice protocols Ventura County has in place.
