Quilters and sewers found a new calling when shortages of masks for health care workers dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak became known. A local sewer found a solution to an elastic shortage.

After a Facebook post was created, a community of quilters and sewers in Eastern Oregon came together to make face masks. They want to help doctors, nurses and first responders during the coronavirus pandemic.

Due to COVID-19, local school districts have created food services programs to feed their students while schools are shut down. On March 26, four new locations will be added to Pasco School District's "Grab and Go" meals.
