The Covid 19 pandemic drastically changed how the sixteen Northern Kentucky Master Clothing Volunteers with the Cooperative Extension Service met community needs.  Teaching sewing to individuals and small pods replaced instruction in larger group settings.   Volunteers conducted 429 hours of sewing instruction. The volunteers developed their own skills by taking classes through digital means, as well as, reading magazines and books.  Over 300 hours of education was reported.  Over 1,350 hours of community service were provided by eight volunteers that reported.  These ladies made 2173 face coverings for schools and the medical community. Face coverings contributed to the health and safety of the community in preventing the spread of COVID 19.
