We need more Sewists!

Kingfield Boomerang Bags and Boomerang Bags Minneapolis have set two online forms:  One for Clinics to request masks, and one for Sewists (Sewing+Activists) to request supplies and arrange for the pick-up of completed masks to the clinics.

Clinics Sign Up Here!

If your clinic (not for individuals) needs homemade masks, please let our volunteer sewists know here: https://bit.ly/MasksforHealthClinics.

Sewists Sign Up Here!

If you are sewing masks, please use this link to arrange for a volunteer to pick up your completed masks and deliver them to a clinic. Please place masks in a plastic bag and write the number of masks on the bag in Sharpie (so they don’t have to be recounted). You can also request more supplies to be dropped off. bit.ly/MaskPickUps

KFNA’s home page now includes a button at the top titled COVID-19 and here you can find current links and information for our community related to resources. It includes a resource list that was put together by the University of Minnesota Medical School Program in Health Disparities Research which recognizes that, as in previous health emergencies, this crisis will disproportionately impact communities most marginalized by structural, social and economic inequities.

This list is divided into  useful topics including, in part, Food & Utilities, Families & Education, Employment, Housing, and Finances.
