NCHC Requests Headbands for Our Healthcare Workers

Community Updates

Do you sew? Can you donate materials or create headbands for our healthcare workers at NCHC?

In addition to cloth masks which are still in need, you can help our health care providers at North Central Health Care by creating these easy elastic headbands with button attachments. The buttons help ease the discomfort that elastic bands cause when wearing face masks daily. There are several tutorials on how to create these headbands and what materials you will need included in this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/Ze5yzvjQECY Donations of completed headbands, material and buttons are being accepted.

Arrangements can be made to pick up masks or headbands, or they can be mailed or delivered to the following locations:

North Central Health Care
1100 Lake View Drive
Wausau, WI 54403

Pine Crest Nursing Home
2100 E 6th St, Merrill, WI 54452

All masks and headbands donated will be distributed to all our programs in need throughout Marathon, Lincoln and Langlade Counties.

Thank you to everyone in our community who has already donated cloth face masks. We received over 350 donated masks which are all being deployed to our programs!
