Good Morning! As many of you know we have reached well over 10,000 masks to the Longmont and surrounding area communities. That is super exciting. For being a business that the state found non-essential we are doing essential work for or community with the help of over 50+ mask makers. With Boulder County looking at mandating masks as early as Saturday May 2nd, we still need masks and mask makers. If you are interested, please reach out to us at 720-340-9951. If you need masks, please call the same number listed above
Here is an update of what we have been doing with our masks. We are sitting at over 10,300 masks handed out to date! That's pretty awesome! This community is special the way we pull together!
