HUDSON – Since the beginning of April, Perfect Ten Afterschool Program’s team of three has made more than 1,500 cloth face masks and distributed them for free across the county. The sewing operation continues to meet the ongoing demand.

“We started making masks for the girls and their families, but within days we were fielding requests from other organizations as well as hundreds of individuals,” said Perfect Ten Director Tina Dipper in a press release. From the start, we wanted to offer them free of charge because we are committed to helping the Hudson community.
