***1,000*** MASKS OUT TODAY!!!******

Finally hit the 1k in 1d mark!! What an amazing team of crafters, drivers and kits assemblers!!! WAHHOOO!!!

Masks only went to two places today. First, to one of our of our *AMAZING* healthcare professionals who will share DIRECTLY with nurses, doctors and respiratory therapist on the frontlines!! Many of our group's masks are using by nurses in the COVID-19 units where nurses love having them to wear over their N95's to keep clean. The other haul was topped off with snacks, snacks and more snacks to Hesed House!

And.. speaking of snacks... tomorrow is the last day of Raising Kane's Hesed Food/clothing drive! So many locations, making it easy to give back!!

And.. it's hard to even calculate how many hours went into getting those 1000 masks out today!! MASSIVE shoutout to our crafters!! Thank you Pamela Werner Szponer Becky McCabe Deb Andcats Bonnie Gillespie Marla Thilgen Maiden Salonga Halie Rae Ekstrom Sarah DeJohn and to Ellen Jo Ljung Margie Veseling for the beautifully hand sewn masks that the nurses just can't get enough of!! And.. Gw Michelle Fuhr Karen Zilly Sue Kramer Sanders and Linda Blau Robertson working behind the scenes.. ALL WORKING ON THE WEEKEND.. as one of our crafters always inspires us with.. 'the healthcare workers can not stop, and neither can we.' and to the donors, thank you for your support of this project from near and far..
