Local volunteers donate nearly 400 safety masksĀ
Monday, April 13, 2020
(April 14, 2020) A group of Ocean Pines residents and other local people recently made and donated hundreds of safety masks for area first responders and hospice workers.
Organizer Neil Gottesman said residents from Ocean Pines, River Run and GlenRiddle took part, with some masks even being made and shipped from Florida.
Gottesman put out a call for materials and volunteers last week and said the response was overwhelming. Volunteers designed the masks for use around asymptomatic patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Some volunteers did pick up and drop off, some donated materials and offered financial assistance, and then we had the sewers,” he said. “All told, over 50 individuals were involved and all were just happy to be able to help in a time of need.”
Initially targeting the Ocean Pines Fire Department and Coastal Hospice, Gottesman said the group also made and donated masks for Ocean Pines Police, Ocean Pines Association staff, and workers at the local Food Lion.
“As we finish up our current mask-making program, the total now stands at close to 400 [masks made],” Gottesman said. “We had a wonderful response and it was a wonderful community effort.”
Gottesman credited Carol Quinto of the Pine’eer Craft Club with helping to organize many of the sewers.
He said the project would be put on hold for now, unless an additional need arises.
