A group of craftspeople recently donated 100 face masks and 100 filters to The Mayflower Community to be used in our Health Center and Beebe Assisted Living. The donors were “your friends from BGM elementary (including a bus driver) and Bonnie Morton and Michelle Steffen of Guernsey.”
They made the face masks with ties and pockets to hold filters. The filters, one for each face mask, were cut from new furnace filters with MERV-12 ratings. A MERV-12, the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, is a high rating for filtration of harmful pollutants in the air.
Included with the gift were laundering instructions: Machine wash and dry for the masks and hand wash and air dry for the filters.
A special touch is the pipe cleaner in the top of each mask to fit it around the nose. This work is a very thoughtful gesture for which Mayflower is appreciative.
