Kathleen Morris, the President of a local quilter\u2019s guild, QUILTSchenectady, was asked to coordinate this mask-making effort. Even though Ellis Hospital decided not to use the hand-made masks, other organizations were in need of such protection. Eventually, on April 2, the CDC guidelines changed, recommending that everyone wear a face mask in public.<\/p>\n<p>Through QUILTSchenectady, a process was soon developed. Completed masks were to be dropped off at designated \u2018hubs,\u2019 which would then be picked up by a \u2018hub manager,\u2019 and distributed to requesting organizations. Proctor\u2019s employee, Chelsea Moore, made calls to area organizations, assessing their face mask needs.<\/p>\n<p>The Clergy Against Hate message was passed along to Rev. Eileen Deming, who sent out requests to all our fabric ministry folks at First United Methodist Church (FUMC), including Jan Huston. Jan is a member of QUILTSchenectady, and asked Kathleen Morris to contact Sue Learner to coordinate FUMC\u2019s participation.<\/p>\n<p>We let Kathleen know that FUMC was happy to serve as a face mask drop-off hub. We set up a covered plastic bin outside the Chapel Street entrance, and from 9:00am to 4:00pm, Monday through Friday, people could leave their masks. We also had a box set up in the Gathering Room, so that church members with keys could drop off masks at any time. We would deliver the masks twice a week to the hub manager for distribution. Our hub manager, Felicia Campo, deployed drivers to pick up masks from other drop off sites through the area, and deliver them to the health care and related organizations that had requested them.<\/p>\n<p>After a few weeks, most mask makers were running low on elastic. This was needed for attaching the masks to a person\u2019s face. Several folks decided to make masks with ties instead of elastic ear loops, as elastic became very difficult to acquire. Early on, QUILTSchenectady had ordered a large quantity to help alleviate this shortage but delivery was coming from a manufacturer in China and was slow in arriving. It arrived on April 21, and we were able to deliver elastic to 5 FUMC mask makers. More was available in the drop-off bin for any who needed it.<\/p>\n<p>On May 19th, we received notice that the mask-making project had ended. Since March 22, members of QUILTSchenectady and sewing friends have made over 10,000 face masks, serving over 64 local organizations (listed below). This included rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, senior living complexes, ambulance companies, social service organizations, physician offices, and others. In addition, approximately 2,000 masks were also given to friends, family, and individuals who needed them, including a Navajo reservation. As of May 21, there were more than 1250 masks dropped off at the FUMC site alone!<\/p>\n<table  class=\" table table-hover\" >\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Albany Medical Center- Accounts Payable<\/td>\n<td>Albany<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Avila Retirement Community<\/td>\n<td>Albany<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bethesda House<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Better Health of NorthEast New York<\/td>\n<td>Gloversville<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Better Health of NorthEast NewYork<\/td>\n<td>Gloversville<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Capital District Food Pantry<\/td>\n<td>Albany<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Center for Nursing and Rehab<\/td>\n<td>Hoosick Falls<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Center for the disabled<\/td>\n<td>Albany<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Clifton Park Senior Center<\/td>\n<td>Clifton Park<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Coburg Village Independ Living Retirement Community<\/td>\n<td>Rexford<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cocoa House<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Community Care Physicians- troy branch<\/td>\n<td>Troy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Community Hospice<\/td>\n<td>Rensselaer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Conifer Park<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Double H Ranch<\/td>\n<td>Lake Luzern<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dr Rahman<\/td>\n<td>Albany<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dutchess County Hospital<\/td>\n<td>Dutchess County<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ellenville Community Hospital<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Four Winds<\/td>\n<td>Saratoga Springs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hannaford Pharmacy Dept<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Heritage Home for Women<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Home Instead Senior Care<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Home of The Good Shepherd<\/td>\n<td>Saratoga Springs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HOPE House<\/td>\n<td>Albany<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HOPE House- Other Locations<\/td>\n<td>Albany<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Josephs House<\/td>\n<td>Troy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Judson Meadows Assisted Living<\/td>\n<td>Scotia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kingsway Community<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ladies of Charity- Carol Sirincione<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lefebzre Chiropractors<\/td>\n<td>Waterford<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lexington Community House<\/td>\n<td>Albany<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Literacy Volunteers of Rensselaer County<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Loretta critical nurse<\/td>\n<td>?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Midge Consler- Nursing Service \/ Home<\/td>\n<td>Syracuse<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mohawk Ambulance<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nathan Litauer<\/td>\n<td>Gloversville<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Niskayuna Co-Op<\/td>\n<td>Niskayuna<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>North East Parent and Child \/ Northern Rivers<\/td>\n<td>Albany<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Northern Rivers<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Oakwood Community Center<\/td>\n<td>Troy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Planned Parenthood<\/td>\n<td>Albany<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Podiatry Associates<\/td>\n<td>?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Prestwick Chase<\/td>\n<td>Saratoga Springs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Proctors<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RASP (Ganesvoort)<\/td>\n<td>Ganesvoort<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Refugee Group<\/td>\n<td>?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Schenectady ARC<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Schenectady City Missions<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Schenectady County Office for Child and Fam<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Schenectady Foundation<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Schenectady Inner City Ministry Food Pantry<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ST Luke\u2019s Food Pantry<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>St Peters Hospital (Nurse)<\/td>\n<td>Albany<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>St. Peters Hospital<\/td>\n<td>Albany<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>St. Vincent\u2019s Food Pantry<\/td>\n<td>Schenectady<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Teresian House<\/td>\n<td>Albany<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The Charlton School<\/td>\n<td>Burnt Hills<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The Wesley Community<\/td>\n<td>Saratoga Springs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Town of Greenburgh Paramedics<\/td>\n<td>N.

Many sewers responded to the need for masks simultaneously. It is difficult to quantify all that has been done. However, QUILTSchenectady has<br \/>\ncoordinated with the following groups to make and distribute well over 30,000 masks: Quilters of the Gloversville\/Johnstown\/Amsterdam area (coordinated by Diana Marshall of the Gloversville Sewing Center), and The Mooncatcher Project (coordinated by Elle Von Wellsheim).<\/p>\n<p>These masks are washable and reusable. When wearing them is no longer necessary, the masks should be washed and saved for any future unfortunate outbreak. Please make sure you urge friends and family to do the same.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks go out to all who created masks.
