good for those in need through their crafting talents.
  For several years the team has been using their crafting abilities 
for good by creating and donating items to different organizations in 
the community including chemo hats for cancer patients, blankets and 
pillows for patients at Arkansas Children's Hospital, and socks and 
scarves for the homeless just to name a few.
  Recently Stitchers Mending Hearts has gone above and beyond during 
this public health crisis by donating more than 3,000 masks to health 
care workers and other organizations in their community.
  This initiative has shined a light on how creativity encourages 
positive attitudes and can unite the public even amidst a health 
crisis.
  I congratulate Rena Edwards and the team at Stitchers Mending Hearts 
for using their talents in a way that brings the community together.
