Please help us to thank Ruth Anderson! Ruth is a 101 year old Independent Living resident at The Arlington of Naples who is making hand-sewn masks for Collier County health care workers.

Thank you so much Ruth for supporting the safety and well-being of our community during this unprecedented event.

If you want to help Ruth making hand-sewn masks, here are some tips you can follow:
1. Mask fabric should be prewashed in hot water and dried to pre-shrink the fabric to provide better protection.
2. Two fabric layers are better than one layer.
3. Elastic ear loops are preferred.
4. Please freshly launder after sewing is completed.
5. Place one mask each in a ziplock bag for distribution.

Masks can be delivered to NCH Central Campus (2157 Pine Ridge Rd, Naples) Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. We have security staff in place to receive the items.

Thank you so much Sandra Lee Buxton and Life In Naples for sharing this picture with us.
