4-H coordinated three community-service sewing projects to meet the need for protective gear for hospital staff in Lincoln. During the initial phase called “Hats for Hospitals,” 4-H youth and community adult volunteers spent over 543 volunteer sewing hours producing 778 cotton surgeon hats. During the “Sewing for Hospitals” phase, volunteers gave over 352 hours constructing 1,011 cotton face coverings. Due to a continued need for face coverings, a third phase resulted in an additional 700 cotton face coverings being sewn by volunteers who spent over 90 hours making the items.
