Masks for Hospital Workers

​Two parishioners teamed up to help healthcare professionals during this critical time. Ashley Harvey, a St. Francis Parishioner of 3 years, and Angie Hill a St. Francis parishioner of 10 years decided to use their sewing talent in the fight against COVID- 19.  

Harvey, texted Hill one morning with the idea of this new project. She found an article on how to sew masks, both women knew there was a shortage of PPE (personal protective equipment) and decided this is what they needed to do.  

Their first week, they were able to sew 80 masks, that went directly to Parkland Hospital in downtown Dallas.

​Since their first week they have made over 150 masks for a home health provider, families traveling home from foreign countries, and friends with underlying health conditions who would like additional protection when heading to a grocery store. Harvey also has a batch of masks getting ready to ship to Children’s Hospital.

They are continuing their efforts and if you are interested in learning how to sew masks, feel free to reach out to Angie Hill at twotexasmom@yahoo.com
