MedicalMasks
Compassion Sewers provide medical masks FREE OF CHARGE to hospital workers during this Covid-19 crisis.
Masks are cloth, with pockets to insert medical paper filters, moldable nose bridge wire and side ties that provide a close, adjustable fit (a design approved by several hospitals).
Based in El Dorado County, we have provided hundreds of masks to local hospital workers.

About Compassion Sewing
We are a group of El Dorado County home-sewers, founded by high school mathematics teacher, Alicia Gray, who recruited a team to help her make 400 masks for a local hospital and another in San Francisco, using a design approved by Providence/St. Joseph Hospital in Burbank, CA.
Volunteers came forward, many without sewing skills who were willing to cut out fabric or donate supplies and funds, and the word spread.
Soon, many local hospitals in Sacramento and the surrounding region have contacted our group
How the process works

Masks for hospital workers
Approved Design
We are using an improved design, used by many hospitals. This mask is constructed of cloth and can be reused and sterilized.
Surgical Filter Insert Pockets
Two filters can be inserted into the sterilized mask, which slips over the head, gathers the sides for a tight fit and ties at the back of the head.
Can Cover N95 Masks
Extending the usage and life of these scarce one-person, one-time use Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) masks.
“What do you need and how can I help?”
We will answer that, as soon as we set up a donation portal, once I can stop sewing!
