We are working to provide as many masks as we can for our local hospitals, nursing homes, police stations, food pantries, etc.. at no charge. We've come to a point though that we are spending quite a bit to replenish our supplies and pay for shipping. With sales down right now due to the pandemic, we need to do what we can to help offset the expenses so that we can continue to make free masks for our front line workers.

These masks are made according to CDC guidelines with 2 layers of 100% cotton materials. Currently the inside fabric is solid white, however, that may change as we are having a hard time finding 100% white cotton fabrics. With a shortage of elastic, we are using other materials that we have for our business. Currently, para cord with toggle, safety break away and grosgrain ribbon. I have a very limited number of red toggles and will use black once those are gone. I have added our label to the inside to make it easier to identify which side goes toward your face.

Cloth masks are to be worn to protect others and are now recommended by the CDC and WHO. We are all in this together and can help save lives when we all wear a mask if we must go out in public or are being cared for with the virus at home. They can easily be worn over a surgical mask or N95 mask for hospital workers but, by no means offer the same protection. They are light weight and breathable. All fabrics are pre-washed in hot water to prevent shrinking when washed later. The design is simple, without added filters, metal or pockets so that they can withstand many hot washings without needing to be ironed or worrying about metal poking through or rusting. You can tuck an added filter inside by just laying the filter on the mask before putting it on.

Shipping in the US is free when you order 3 or more. Please only purchase if you are a front line worker, are trying to prevent the spread of the virus to your family members or if you have to go out. Please consider ordering one to donate to a front line worker as well. You can easily put one in your mailbox for your mail carrier with a thank you note or put one in the trunk of your car for the person who gathers your grocery order. You could also safely drop one off at your local hospital or nursing home if they are asking for donations. If you would like for us to donate a mask on your behalf, simple add to the cart the Donate a Mask option.

Stay safe and stay home!
