The Fashion and Business Resource Innovation Center, or FABRIC, has been able to produce over 500,000 reusable gowns for the Arizona medical community to use.
The Tempe-based company was initially struck down by closures brought about by the pandemic. Many of its businesses that it worked with were forced to shut down following being deemed “non-essential.”
Sherri Barry, one of FABRIC’s co-founders, says in March of last year, there was a lot of uncertainty for the 600 businesses they work with and the whole situation was terrifying.
