Mask Project

There are a number of sources available providing patterns for creating masks as well as suggestions for distribution. Each local is subject to local and state restrictions. Help Locals research what’s possible in each area. Video example: https://wgno.com/news/health/coronavirus/local-seamstress-shows-how-to-make-your-own-surgical-ma:

The focus has been on masks for hospitals handling adult patients, but Wolfson Children’s Hospital needs masks too!

Other General Suggestions

Be prepared for a minimum two weeks of isolation—unfortunately, most likely longer at this point. Avoid hoarding – we are all in this together. Don’t forget to include pet supplies! Have prescriptions filled and spare glasses ready—just like you would if you were preparing for a hurricane.

Check-in with your union sisters and brothers to see who needs help of any kind—especially someone to talk to.
