Homemade Face Masks & Shields
Donation protected
PC Professional's VP of Technical Services, Jeremy Coleman teamed together with his wife, Kelly (Etsy shop owner of Kelly’s Collections) to provide easy-to-make protective face masks for SF Bay Area's most needy populations. The message behind Jeremy & Kelly's endeavor was to encourage out-of-the-box thinking and resourcefulness.
Jeremy and Kelly have created over 300 masks which only take about 10 minutes each, all the while connecting local communities with resources to those in need.
Although these masks do not guarantee effectiveness to the same degree as N-95 masks, what they do provide is an influence on social behavior. An increase in home-made masks will ensure medical-grade masks are prioritized for medical professionals who are in dire supply. In addition, home-made masks will deflect wearers from touching their faces, thereby reducing the spread of bacteria.
Jeremy and Kelly’s masks are cleverly designed with a detachable plastic covering. By using Velcro sides by the ears, they are easy to clean, re-use, and remove without needing to touch the face. You can download a copy of the template below to create one from home! Jeremy & Kelly's story is an inspiration to businesses everywhere, all with unique resources and connections for something valuable to offer.
If possible, please chip in to provide financial backing for them to expand and get other groups the resources they need to help make these masks for medical professionals.
Thank you!
