Pictured l-r: Theresa and daughter Marissa made approximately 65 masks and Court 513 President Donna made over 150 masks that were donated to various hospitals.
15-Day, 15 Mask Challenge
In the spirit of National Volunteer Week, April 19 through April 25, National Catholic Society of Foresters (NCSF) put out a challenge to its members, Courts, and Impact Teams. It is called the “15-Day, 15 Mask Challenge” to donate to people in need. NCSF asked members who sew to make at least 15 masks. If you don’t sew, they could team up and volunteer to help cut fabric or donate materials. There is also a no sew version of a mask.
With many states requiring everyone to wear masks to keep people safe, the need for them has become much greater. If you have done any activities to support your community during this time, Let Us Know!
