2287 Shields Collected, Danville Fighting COVID Now Making Masks

Danville Fighting COVID recap and Sunday Sewing Squad Launch

Hi Neighbors,

Thanks to your generous support we have collected nearly 2,300 3D printed face shields to our local community since we started Danville Fighting COVID! Check out our August Newsletter to read about what we have accomplished these past two months.

We are excited to announce a new initiative: the DFC Sunday Sewing Squad! We are calling all sewers to help us supply our local businesses, teachers, and healthcare workers with fabric masks. It takes just a few minutes of your time, but helps to protect our essential workers.
