Cloth Masks Needed for Visitors and Hospice Home Care Family Members

Hospice of the Western Reserve (HWR)  is asking for the community’s support to pitch in and make hand-made, fabric face masks. The masks will be distributed to the nonprofit agency’s visitors and home care family members to assist in preventing the spread of COVID-19.

Fabric masks are helpful in blocking droplets that can spread illnesses like COVID-19. Volunteers in the community can assist by using their own materials and the pattern that’s compliant with requirements from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Delivering the Masks

A collection bin is located by the front door of each collection site so that visitors can be buzzed in to drop off the masks in the bin (discarding the bag they were brought in) making the delivery process contactless. Please complete this donation form to be dropped off when the masks are delivered:
