Operation Homefront –
Wanted - Face Masks and Crafts for Children!  

• If you or someone you know can sew, would you join us in making fabric face masks for the families of the wounded at Walter Reed - requested by Operation Homefront - https://www.operationhomefront.org - and also for our friends and neighbors.     We will of course also accept donations of purchased face masks as well.  
• Here is a suggested YouTube video to learn to make the masks:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwyEgrcm9NE    (Note:  I know it is difficult to find elastic but you can also make fabric ties or use ribbon for ties.   I have also used pipe cleaners (that can be found at Dollar Tree) for the nose wire and that works quite well).    
• We also have a request from multiple military installations for crafts and/or activities for children.  If you have craft ideas and leftover supplies from children’s activities, please consider donating to the children of our military.  
• ​​​​Please contact Sherry and Gary Fisher at 703-328-5050 if you have any questions and for pick up or drop off of face masks or craft supplies for children's activities.
