As our staff battles the COVID-19 outbreak, your gift will help them care not only for the safety of our patients and our caregivers, but of the greater community. We could not be more grateful.

For all of you who are sewing face masks, here are some tutorials you may not have seen yet….
Best way to make bias ties for mask…no tools needed.
How to make adjustable ear straps if you don’t have elastic… (You can use t-shirts, paracord, etc.)
As always, if you are making face masks and you’d like to donate them to Hartford Hospital, please know you can drop them during the week in the bin outside the entrance to the UUS:E office. They will be picked up at 3:00 on Sunday afternoons. Furthermore, if you yourself are in need of a homemade face mask, some of the UUS:E sewers are willing to send one or two to you. Contact Rev. Josh at his home office (listed in the UUS:E Directory) and we can get a face mask to you!
Last weekend a number of UUS:E members dropped off homemade face masks in the bin outside the entrance to the UUS:E office. On Monday, UUS:E member Pamela Johnson brought the face masks to Hartford Hospital where she works. She reported back:
nt due to the surge in Covid19 cases. The shortages include face masks. If you have time to sew, and if you have the requisite materials on hand, please consider producing face masks.
