Wendy Chang, director of institutional advancement and face mask project coordinator, examines some of the fabric face masks to be donated. Maryknoll School donated more than 2,500 reusable handmade fabric masks to two local nonprofit organizations, Lanakila Pacific and Navian Hawaii (formerly Hospice Hawaii), to help kupuna and nurses stay protected against COVID-19. Families, alumni and community members quickly took up needle and thread over the past two-and-a-half weeks and went far above and beyond the goal of providing 1,000 masks, ultimately sewing more than 2,500 masks for the community using repurposed Maryknoll aloha-print fabric from their 90th anniversary commemoration.
