HOLSTEIN, Iowa (AP) Like many of us exiled in quarantine during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic last year, Kiara Dutler found herself going a little stir crazy.
Unable to go to school, see her friends or participate in sports, staying at home while attending virtual classes at Ridge View High School got old pretty fast.
So when she saw an Iowa State University Extension and Outreach email last April seeking volunteers to sew and donate face masks for protection against the virus, Dutler figured it would break up the monotony.
