What started as a small group of people who wanted to do something to help front-liners and people at risk during the COVID-19 pandemic has grown to an astonishing brigade of over 92 people producing hundreds of masks each day under the direction of ERUUFian Audrey Green. Together, as of Wednesday, April 29, they have made and distributed over 3,000 masks--all free--for a total cost (donations) of $585.
The masks have been distributed to a number of groups and organizations including two low-income neighborhoods, a hospice organization, an elder care facility, a senior care center, Durham Senior Center, Durham Fire Department, a UNC surgeon group, a pastor supporting immigrants, and Church World Service employees serving immigrants.
ERUUF's Garden Team has some great opportunities for you:

A new phase has been reached in the COVID-19 virus.
As a spiritual community, we at ERUUF strive to create a culture of respect and care for one another. Our Covid-19 policies have been guided by serious concern and consideration for the safety and well-being of all ERUUF members, staff, and visitors, with a commitment to equity and care for the most vulnerable among us and those who are marginalized both at ERUUF and in the larger community.
