“[Costume Designer Lauren Oppelt] launched a group called “Mask Crusaders,” which now has about 100 members. The group includes sewers, “runners” who gather fabric, and volunteers who collect donations of money and materials. She then teamed up with the Costume Designers Guild (Local 892) to help deliver the masks.

“We are not running out of places to send them to,” Oppelt said. “I didn’t know what an N95 was two weeks ago.”
