Now more than ever, healthcare professionals around the world need our help.
As COVID-19 spreads, our hospitals are being filled to and past capacity. Our doctors and nurses are working 24/7 to help, but they can't do it without the masks that keep them safe. The CDC has stated that "in settings where facemasks are not available, HCP might use homemade masks (e.g., bandana, scarf) for care of patients with COVID-19 as a last resort." Make a mask, and we'll be one step closer to ending this pandemic.

3. Send your masks. When we match you to a facility, we'll give you specific instructions on how to deliver your masks to your facility.
4. Make more! There's always a facility in need.
