‘Giving tree’ displays masks, sanitizing pads for those in need

WESTPORT—This past weekend, Church of the Assumption in Westport displayed washable face masks on a “giving tree” in front of the church.

Hand-sewn, washable masks were donated by members of the Filipino Community of Fairfield County, along with prayer cards for anyone who would like one.

Also included are sanitizing prep pads donated by the Knights of Columbus.

Anyone who is in need of these products are welcome to come and take them.

“What’s usually a tree filled with lights at Christmas time is now a tree hanging facemasks,” read the weekend bulletin.

“We just put up the masks this morning and already half of them are gone,” said Father Cyrus Bartolome, pastor of Church of the Assumption.
