VOLUNTEERS FROM THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST LATTER-DAY SAINTS PRODUCE MASKS FOR INMATES


Volunteers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints helped with the production and making of masks for LASD employees and inmates.

When Commander Diana Gealta from the Custody Division asked her church members for help sewing enough masks to supply all of the LASD employees inside the jails and all of the inmates, they did not hesitate and went to work! The original goal was about 2,000 but the volunteers went above the call for help and in just over a week were able to produce over 7,000 cloth masks! These extra cloth masks will support operations and many inmates will be able to go home with at least one mask!

“I feel as if through this project, our heavenly Father is showing that he loves us and shows us we are all his children,” were the words of one of the dozens of volunteers from the Women’s Relief Society members from the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints.

Thank you and God Bless all of the volunteers!
