Volunteers sew handmade masks

Ladies of the Cancer and Community Charities (3Cs) are gearing up for a tsunami of requests for fabric face masks.

The ladies are now selling the handmade, washable and reusable masks for $10 each. All of the proceeds will go back into Kootenai County. All work is being done on a volunteer basis.

Email craftycrew208@gmail.com to purchase locally made 3Cs masks. The group is set up to take Facebook Pay (no fees) or group chairwoman Rhonda Newton can send invoices through Crafty Crew’s Etsy store, Square or Paypal ($10.99 per mask to cover fees). Donations of elastic and thread are needed.

Inklab Screen Print Studio in Post Falls is also creating fabric face masks to help flatten the curve of COVID-19. Inklab has repurposed eco-friendly T-shirts into tri-blend protective face masks that are selling for $29.99 for three. These can be worn alone or over disposable face masks.
