VOLUNTEER TO SEW
Whether you have masks already made, or you need to know who to sew for, click the "Sign Up" link below to pledge in batches of 5 masks. Our Orthodox Christian community is very generous and would like to share the joyful burden of this work of mercy: for every mask you make, there is $2 available to defray costs of shipping and materials.
​
How it Goes:
1) sign up for as many slots as you can do in about one week
2) sew the masks
3) contact us through the sign up to request the address
4) we'll give you the address and send you $2 per mask
5) you deliver or mail the masks
REPORT A NEED
We are focusing on word of mouth needs, getting masks to those who are falling through the cracks. Request protective fabric face masks for yourself and/or others by including in your message the type, size (adult, teen, or child) & minimum number of masks needed.
​
Due to the CDC guidance, we will not be providing masks for children under 2 years old.
​
Masks are not for sale, but you may donate to the cause.
DONATE FUNDS
If you can't sew or aren't able to during this project, you can still help! For every face mask made, the maker will receive $2 to defray costs of materials and shipping to those in need. This does not fully compensate those sewing for their time and materials, but it allows the burden of this work of mercy to be shared by the community.
