    Masks Needed


    Due to a shortage of masks for health care workers and members of the community who need them, the Medical Reserve Corps. is requesting hand-made masks from the community. There are several online sites offering patterns and sewing recommendations.(Masks@Quiltish.com)

    The Corps accepts home machine-sewn masks, no hand-sewn masks, and N95 and surgical masks. Any masks you make, or extras you may have purchased that you are willing to donate, can be dropped off in the bin now located by the library entrance. Masks will be picked up on a regular basis and distributed Cape-wide by the Cape Cod Medical Reserve Corps.

    Thanks for your participation. Please make sure your donations are handled following hygienic protocals.
