Volunteers have made 2,400 masks for medical workers and other first responders in Mill Creek and Everett.
The need for personal protective equipment – especially masks – has brought the community together in multiple ways during the coronavirus pandemic. Medical workers and first responders need masks, and many people have stepped up to the sewing machine to fill the gaps in supplies, including in Mill Creek.
