J-Sei Request for 135 Masks

J-Sei Request for 135 Masks

COVID-19 continues to spread, primarily expelled through breathing, sneezing, or coughing, spreading water droplets from someone who has the virus. With the shortage of masks for healthcare workers, we are enlisting our creative talent pool to sew 135 masks to help protect our staff and volunteers at J-Sei Home and for the J-Sei Nutrition and Home Delivery.

We are requesting a mask that allows a filter to be slipped inside:

Please use fabric you have on hand. We don’t want you to go out and shop. The masks will be bleached and sanitized for re-use, and the filter material can be replaced.  If you have any questions or you are able to help in this way, please contact Tiffany to let her know how many you can make.  We are keeping track of who can help in this way as we anticipate the needs.

Wednesday, February 5th, 12:30-2

J-Sei, 1285 66th St, Emeryville  (510) 654-4000

Giving back and taking care of a loved one requires energy, stamina, and constancy for the family caregiver.  We are fueled by love, but often at a sacrifice. Hear from individuals who will share their experiences as family caregivers and the type of support that is needed to sustain themselves. Learn how you can help or participate.

Alan Maeda, a retired therapist and family caregiver, facilitates a weekly Family Caregiver Support Group at J-Sei. RSVP requested.   Contact jill@j-sei.org or call 510-654-4000.
