Steph George

Steph stepped up early on in the pandemic and made hundreds of masks for the Seacoast community, taking a lot of local leadership and making sure frontline workers were protected first. She is also on the board of the Reproductive Freedom Fund of New Hampshire where she has helped ensure that people needing abortion care can access it regardless of their ability to pay.

Note from Steph:
I personally made 700 masks, but in total our group of primarily women made over 50,000 masks. We called ourselves the Seacoast Mask Makers, and had hubs all around the area where we would trade supplies, drop off masks, and coordinate deliveries. I would love the group to be recognized alongside myself, because while I’m incredibly proud of the individual work I did, I wouldn’t have done it without my group.
