Three of Green Spring Gardens’ volunteers saw a need and answered it in a big way. When COVID-19 affected operations, staff at Green Spring needed cloth face masks to prevent the spread of the virus in the workplace. Janet Hammes, Aimee Martin and Liz Promen generously volunteered to make enough masks so that each staff member would have two to use in rotation. Staff members say the wonderful fabric patterns the volunteers used made the CDC requirement much more bearable. The masks even became part of a regular “show and tell” as staff modeled the latest donations. Green Spring sends a great, big thank you to the volunteers who stitched up masks to keep staff members safe.
