Protecting our Community

ONE MASK AT A TIME
Picture
We are an all-volunteer group that emerged in March of 2020 to give face masks to anyone who needed them. We distributed more than 20,000 homemade masks to food pantries, emergency shelters, essential businesses, schools, and individuals in need, and helped Dane County Emergency Management deliver an additional 5,000 masks to 70 childcare centers.

Dozens of donors generously contributed thousands of dollars in donations of cash, fabric, and other materials. We also had the help of some incredible community partners, including Sector 67, Boys and Girls Club of Dane County, the Schenk Atwood Neighborhood Association, and Plastic Ingenuity.

THANK YOU to everyone who came together to help #MaskUpDane.

Resources for Current Volunteers

SUPPLY CHANGE: As we have had fewer supply requests, we are now switching to self-serve pickup from either the Madison East or Cross Plains drop-off location. You can pick up fabric (yards of fabric, short cuts, or salvage cuts), elastic, and nose wire. 

If you are unable to pick up supplies and have been used to receiving deliveries from a runner, use the Contact Us form to email Megan to arrange a runner.
