7,000 homemade masks have been created by employees at the Dayton VA, but many more will be needed to combat COVID-19.

Veterans should follow CDC guidance on properly cleaning the mask prior to use to limit the possibility of contamination.

To arrange a drop-off of homemade masks, call (937) 262-2162
