Jennifer Oberg talks about the Face making project

Jennifer Oberg normally uses her dressmaking skills to enhance the best times of people’s lives, but now she’s working to help them survive the worst. Instead of custom-made wedding gowns, she’s making medical-grade masks for health care professionals faced with a shortage of personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

To help, she has recruited a swift-moving network that includes doctors, fundraisers, a private school and dozens of hands-on volunteers.

To learn more about the project, see the Facebook group Maui Face Mask Fund. To volunteer, contact McMillan at halemahina1@gmail.com.
