The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended the use of cloth face coverings to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Members of the university community who know how to sew, and who have supplies on hand, are invited to help sew masks that will be made available in the community for nonmedical use. There are many sewing patterns available online for making masks. A few examples are available here.
Completed masks can be dropped off or mailed as follows. Leave masks in the designated boxes and remember to practice social distancing if others are present.
