Dr. Connie Walker, a Senior Social & Behavioral Researcher within CFS has sewn over 200 masks and given them away to friends, colleagues, community members, and family in Puerto Rico. She started making them for The Mask Project of Tampa Bay, which was formed so that the sewing community could come together to provide masks for health care workers.
Connie initially donated 50 masks to the Project.
