In the wake of the COVID-19 crisis, we at Re:new have been hard at work prototyping medical masks and have already committed to donating over 350 to essential and medical professionals. Our faithful volunteers have rallied to help cut fabric over this weekend so we can employ our Artisans to sew them ASAP. Our goal is to continue to make masks for as long as there is a need.
We are happy to introduce you to our spring operations intern, Ria! Ria is from Indonesia and is part of the Community College Initiative, a scholarship program run by the US Department of State. Through this program, she is currently studying and taking classes at the College of Dupage in Glen Ellyn, IL.
