Cranberry Sewing Hundreds Of Masks For Workers, Businesses

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA - With Gov. Tom Wolf asking all residents to voluntarily wear a mask when leaving their homes, the township’s Community Response Team is partnering with Cranberry Sews It Flat to protect its employees.

Volunteers are in the process of sewing nearly 700 masks for township personnel, along with other professionals and essential businesses in the region.

The group is in need of material donations, including:

• 100 percent quilting fabric made of a poly/cotton blend or all cotton.
• New cotton sheets.
• ¼” flat braided elastic or double fold bias tape or ribbon a quarter-inch to half-inch wide.
• Fiskars 45 mm blades for rotary cutters.
• Laundry detergent, unscented if possible.
