Can you help us contact a local population who could form a volunteer group or donate? Sew For NY has successfully helped several communities to organize their own sewing/PPE groups. Forming a local sewing group is the best way to help yourself and others get PPE.

For instance, nearby houses of worship, parents', students', or teachers' associations, local Facebook groups, Nextdoor groups, business associations, or other community organizations
