Church volunteers working to repair 300,000 masks for medical staff

A church is practicing being the hands of the Lord by helping to repair hundreds of thousands of protective masks.

Volunteers from Rock Church in San Diego, Cal. have been working since March 30 to restore elastic straps on N-95 masks to protect people from COVID-19.

The church project hopes to restore 300,000 masks over the next few weeks, CBN news reports.

The process is simple but tedious. Volunteers must remove the original elastic from the mask before they can secure a new one. Once restored, the masks will be put to use throughout San Diego.

Miles McPherson, pastor of Rock Church, says the project will take several weeks.
