Face masks are in plentiful supply at the É«ÏãÊÓƵ Police Department, thanks to Rita Starkey, aka The Mask Sewer, who donated the custom-designed face masks donned above by (from left) Staff Sergeant David Cardella and Sergeant David Dean.
Ms. Starkey first began making masks for her daughter and friend, nurses who have been working 12-hour shifts. Now she’s sewing masks for other nurses, as well as first responders. She follows all CDC guidelines in creating her reversible masks, which are washable and reusable.
