Message....from Jean Kammemayer
President-Elect
Rotary Club of Toronto Bay-Bloor
Under current economic circumstances, this is a big ask, but I am going to ask anyway…
You will receive by email a Revenue Canada Tax Receipt matching your donation
I am the President-Elect of the Rotary Club of Toronto Bay-Bloor. Our small club provides financial support to two charities in the Bay-Bloor neighbourhood who offer food and support to homeless men and women: The Seeds of Hope Foundation and The Church of the Redeemer. There are numerous issues relating to the homeless during COVID-19. This news clip includes an interview with the Executive Director of Seeds of Hope.

We can help by providing face masks for
the Bay-Bloor homeless community
So, here is the “ask”
-
We urgently need $ 1,500.00 to cover
fabric, elastic, and logistic costs for the masks.
- There is no limit to your donation and the number of masks you can provide; the minimum contribution is $ 5.00.
- The masks will be made of a quilting fabric or tightly woven cotton.
- We have volunteers ready to sew and assemble the masks.

Thank you for helping the homeless and making our community safer.
Looking forward to better days.

Further Mask Specifications
-
The elastic is
not sewn onto the mask. There is, instead, a channel sewn onto
each side of the mask through which the elastic has been
threaded. Thus, elastic can be replaced when worn or replaced
with ties, is preferred.
-
The masks have
extra-large ear loops. As each mask should be fitted
specifically to the individual's face, loops can be shortened by
retying the elastic. For those whose ears are irritated by
earloops, the loops can be drawn back behind the head and linked
together using a barrette or tie.
-
A garden-grade
twist tie has been inserted into a channel sewn across the top
of the mask. It holds the mask across the bridge of the nose,
much like medical-grade masks.
-
The mask has two
layers, sewn together at the top and bottom only, enabling the
insertion of additional barrier layers, such as a coffee filter
or hepa filter
-
Given that the
two layers of the mask are open at the sides, the mask air dries overnight
-
Each mask is
individually numbered in indelible ink to ensure a return to
each mask to its owner, should masks be laundered centrally.
