St. Mike's - They are looking for another 100 masks. Here's the information received:
Donate Masks to Campus
MOVE has partnered with the Emergency Management Team to help gather 200 masks, in accordance with the current recommendations, to make available to students who are living on campus and essential employees who are working from campus and supporting our students.
With the help of 2 incredible alums, one staff member, and a partner of another staff member, we already have 100 masks being sewn and donated. We are now looking for 100 more. If you or someone you know is making masks and willing to make and donate some to SMC, please have them contact Lara Scott at lscott@smcvt.edu. Thank you for any help you can give!
