Mayor Kirk Caldwell: Classify Fabric Stores As An Essential Business

Please keep fabric stores open. We need fabric for clothes and masks etc.

Protect our community by limiting the spread of COVID

Stores like fabric mart are providing an essential service to our communities by helping our Ohana take precautions supporting personal and public safety.

A necessary storeM

Strongly encouraging citizens to wear masks in public, but closing a resource that provides mask materials inhibits compliance

Government should have planned for this before advising to use cloth face masks.

Stop being silly

During this time of quarantine it is imperative that people use masks before going out in the public. These stores are essential because mask covers and basic masks cannot be made without FABRIC! Get real, and do the right thing for the people!

Seriously? You tell us to make masks for all and close the fabric stores? Josh Green for Govenor!

Let people make masks to help not to not spread CoronaVirus more

We need material and elastic to help make masks for our ohana and friends and especially for those who don’t have any’,

This IS essential. We are making masks to protect ourselves, family and community

Essential to fabric being purchased to make face mask. The cost to purchase 50 face mask is $64.00 ....use to be 10 dollars. Price gouging is crazy. Keep fabric stores open

The whole state should allow fabric stores to stay open

We need to be able to access these stores to get the necessary supply’s to make protective masks and other things ESSENTIAL at this moment!! Please don’t take away these places that our communities are utilizing in hopes of protecting our loved ones & neighbors.

making masks for nurses, doctors, essential workers, family and friends... please don’t close the fabric store!!!

Please don’t tell us to wear masks, keep sewing them to help the community AND THEN capriciously and unnecessarily shut down our only supply source. Help us help ourselves and our community.
