Natick-Sherborn Sewing Support Group

In 1918, the influenza pandemic hit Natick and the world. Just over 100 years later, COVID-19 has brought a pandemic again. As schools and businesses around Massachusetts have closed recently, Natick residents have retreated to their homes; many have searched for ways to help those in need.

Today, residents of Natick and neighboring communities have come together to support frontline workers. The Natick-Sherborn Sewing Support Group, started by Kelly McPherson of Natick, has not missed a beat. Together, they have produced thousands of masks and other Personal Protective Equipment for healthcare workers, first responders, and essential caregivers—and their work continues.

The Natick-Sherborn Sewing Support Group members have shared their stories and photographs with the Natick Historical Society, and we are documenting their extraordinary contributions in our Natick Shares: COVID-19 Community Archive Project.
