UPDATE: Dynamic Duo Sells Masks to Help Animals

When the Humane Society of Loudoun County (HSLC) received a generous check with a note indicating that the donation came from selling masks, we were intrigued. So, one of our volunteers reached out to the donor, Cyndi, to learn more.

Cyndi had teamed up with her friend and neighbor, Cathy, to hatch the mask-making enterprise. Cathy custom makes each mask while Cyndi markets them. Masks sell for a very affordable $7 for adults and $6 for kids, with $1 donated to HSLC for each mask purchased. So far, the dynamic duo has sold hundreds of masks and will keep the operation going as long as there’s demand.

The partnership has been very rewarding for Cyndi and Cathy, and win-win for the community. As Cyndi told us, “It’s been a fun endeavor helping people to stay healthy while also helping the animals get the medical care and forever homes they desperately need.”

If you are interested in purchasing masks, be sure to check out the photo gallery below to see the wide variety of available patterns–including cats and dogs! Masks are made from 100% pre-washed cotton. Please email Cyndi to select your pattern at Masksbycathyandcyndi@yahoo.com and Cathy will custom make your mask(s) for you. Limit is 30 masks per person. Payment is via check or Venmo.

Thank you, Cyndi and Cathy for making a difference in the community during these challenging times!

The gallery also includes Cyndi’s dogs, Ace and Frodo, the “loves of our lives, especially now”. Cathy is pictured with one of her five fur babies. Her dogs are Casey, Carley and Cookie and the cats are Cairo and Cooper.
