Face Shields for Health Workers

These face SHIELDS will protect the face and the masks of the wearer. These make the masks we are working on so hard, work longer! We already have one community member fronting the money for all of this. (Update: That community member has been paid back from this gofundme!). The VA in Lebanon is waiting for these desperately (ground zero right now) - and the more we talk about them, the more other health workers say, "yes please!!!" (Update: The VA shields were the first ones delivered!). We have two local businesses willing to "cut" them out (free of charge, we just need to pay for their "bit".  6,200 masks can be made for $6,157 plus shipping of a pallet of the plastic (all sold to us at cost - update: the manufacturers did upcharge a little so our cost was a little higher than expected - original estimate was $4,500). Total needed: $6,157 plus replacement costs for bits and shipping for over 6,000 face shields! Please donate what you can. Thank you! {Update #1: We have produced 3,000 face shields and delivered more than 2,000 of those to frontline workers with more on their way out! Update #2 We have opened up the amount of the gofundme as a vehicle to help defray costs for the 12,000 cloth facemasks we have delivered and are continuing to make and deliver. We are local folks part of the Corvallis Sewing Brigade (CorvallisSewingBrigade.org) who are dedicated to make this happen. My name is Elizabeth Wyatt and you can reach out to me if you have an concerns about the legitimacy of this project. Thank you in advance! gf.me/u/xsyn4p

This fundraiser was completely successful and we have created over 6,000 faceshields are in the process of distributing them. Any left over funds will be rolled over into our face mask gofundme which is currently active and seeking donations for more fabric and notion donations to continue making facemasks https://www.gofundme.com/f/1zskzqu49c?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link-tip&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet
