Masking Up in North Ridgeville

From the first day of the shutdown, North Ridgeville Community Care had a group of volunteers who leaped into action. They wanted to help and figured out how to do it.

Bev Behrns, Mary Elchlinger, Barbara Kraemer, and Jean Beckner figured out how; making masks for the people of North Ridgeville and our clients. They gather up material and elastic, all of which are hard to find, but they persevere.

While Jean cuts and irons the material, Bev, Mary, and Barbara sew the masks. What great teamwork!

They started asking for donations for their masks and have raised almost $4,000 for North Ridgeville Community Care. Not only have they been making masks for donations, they also make them for our clients.

Every week they drop off more masks for us to distribute to help our clients stay healthy. We can’t thank these ladies enough for finding a way to help. Our city is safer because of these women. If you see them out and about please tell them thanks. These ladies truly are saving lives! Our own Hometown Heroes!
