Update on RSI’s Face Mask Project
Written by: Claire Farmer-Lies, Marketing Communications Specialist
About a week ago, we reached out to our community, our teams, and others who support our mission to request donations of cloth and paper face masks for our caregivers, nurses, and the people living in our homes. Due to high demand, it has been a challenge for us to procure all of the masks that may be needed to keep our homes safe during this time.
We would like to take a moment to thank every person and organization who has responded to our donation request. Communities across Minnesota and the country have rallied around our essential front-line healthcare workers, and we are so grateful to be included in that response as we see donations coming in.
Our heartfelt thanks to the following donors:
- Carlene Nelson
- Riki McRickard
- Kim Hanson
- Mary Hallsten
- Kathy Sluka
- Anne Pardus
- Sharon Kompelien
- Cindy Lind
- Faith Palmer
- Sarah Gulan
- Kitty Hutchins
- Michelle Lynn
- Nancy Boll
- Mary Gregg
- Janet Tupa
- Laurie Berner
- Vicky Zimmerman
- Sharon Ek
- Gigi Toman
- Jackie Vavrosky
- Tara Golden
- Duluth Fire Station Mask Drive
- Masked Up
- Hannah Johnson Fabrics
Our goal is to reach 1,000 masks, which would ensure one for each of our front-line employees and the people we provide services to. We are still working to reach that goal and will continue to accept mask donations.
