Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, today, I recognize Rena Edwards of Cabot, Arkansas and her team at the nonprofit organization Stitchers Mending Hearts Inc., an organization spread throughout the state, doing good for those in need through their crafting talents.

For several years the team has been using their crafting abilities for good by creating and donating items to different organizations in the community including chemo hats for cancer patients, blankets and pillows for patients at Arkansas Children's Hospital, and socks and scarves for the homeless just to name a few.

Recently Stitchers Mending Hearts has gone above and beyond during this public health crisis by donating more than 3,000 masks to health care workers and other organizations in their community.

This initiative has shined a light on how creativity encourages positive attitudes and can unite the public even amidst a health crisis.

I congratulate Rena Edwards and the team at Stitchers Mending Hearts for using their talents in a way that brings the community together.
