In these unprecedented times of the COVID 19 pandemic it has come to my attention that many people, particularly the less fortunate residents and those living in poverty, do not have money to afford a protective mask.  I wanted to do something to help this issue in my community.  The Society of St. Vincent De Paul Council in Pinellas County Community Kitchen and Resource Center not only gives out free groceries but  also serves a hot meal every day to those in need. During the pandemic “shutdown” St. Vincent De Paul Community Kitchen and Resource Center had to restrict building entry and serve box meals to those in need.  Now that they are back open and serving meals, they need masks.  With this in mind, I have teamed up with a local retailer - Odd  Sox, LLC, located in Clearwater that has agreed to provide designer masks at a highly reduced cost to those residents in need during this crisis. I am raising funds to buy masks for those in need so they may enter the St. Vincent De Paul Community Kitchen and Resource Center and have a hot meal. Any donation will help make an immense difference in so many lives. We have an opening goal of providing a minimum of 1,000 masks to adults and children in need.

I know these are tough times, including financial, for many of us, but these are the times we ALL need to make sacrifices for those less fortunate! I truly appreciate anything you could donate, it could provide the one mask that saves a life...

These are personal designer masks that can be reused and one can wear with pride.  You can view samples of these masks at the company web page,

Thank You in advance for your consideration and contribution to this cause that means so much to me!
