As our nation navigates the COVID-19 pandemic, our second-line essential workers are being called back to work in grocery stores, restaurants, and schools without face masks.
We’re here to help. We’re offering FREE masks to nonprofits, food pantries, homeless shelters, and community health clinics, so they can distribute them directly to the people who need them most.
And we’re encouraging these charities to use the masks as fundraisers to ensure that we all come out of this situation healthier and stronger than ever before.
Using masks should not be limited to only the wealthy.
The Mask Hub provides high-quality reusable protective cloth masks to the public. All masks are donated to local and regional non-profit and philanthropic organizations to slow the spread of COVID-19 infection.
Nonprofit requests masks. Mask Hub team vets request.
Charity receives masks.
Charity gives masks away or sells them as a fundraiser.
“According to the latest data, history and science tell the same story: wearing a mask – combined with social distancing – stops the spread of the virus.”
“Infection trends shifted dramatically when mask-wearing rules were implemented on April 6 in northern Italy and April 17 in New York City – at the time among the hardest hit areas of the world by the health crisis – the study found.”
Are you a charity? Request your masks today, and use them as fundraisers to help your organization thrive.
The Mask Hub is a nonprofit organization dedicated to slowing the transmission and infection of COVID-19 by providing high-quality reusable, washable cloth masks to charities, who will distribute them to second-line workers — those who are most at risk, yet least able to afford high-quality, reusable masks.
The One Globe Family Foundation provided the initial funding and resources required to launch The Mask Hub and purchase the first million masks.
The primary goal of The Mask Hub is to ease the human suffering during the COVID-19 pandemic by helping to reduce the transmission and infection of the disease.
The secondary goal of The Mask Hub is to support small non-profit organizations
fundraising efforts during the pandemic so that they can protect their employees and patrons from COVID-19 and also provide food, shelter, and health care to the disadvantaged.
The US Centers for Disease Control “recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies) especially in areas of significant community based transmission.”
We know that our second-line workers like bus drivers, cashiers, food bank staff, and restaurant staff work day in and day out in environments where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.
