Homemade Masks*

*A note about homemade masks: we are not endorsing, given conflicting research about efficacy. We’re offering to match because of requests from healthcare providers for anything available. Using them is up to the discretion of people using them. If you are making them, we have some notes here for best practices.

What is Mask Match?

Mask Match helps people with spare masks send them directly to healthcare workers on the front lines who need them — without needing to leave their house.

Their lives (and our lives) depend on it.

Many hospitals have had to limit the number of masks healthcare workers can use because there isn’t enough. Many are forced to go without due to lack of supply. While factories domestically and overseas are rushing to produce more, producing masks takes time that many healthcare workers don’t have.

We already have masks here — in our closets, garages, basements, and workshops. Maybe you have some from the fire season. Or maybe you hoarded some and they’re just… sitting there. Your masks could save someone’s life.

How it works

If you are a healthcare worker, fill out the “I need masks” form so we know who you are and where we need to send your masks.

If you have masks, fill out the “I have masks” form, and we’ll email you with a healthcare worker match so you can ship your masks directly to them.

Our team verifies the identities and sends a match via email to the donor.* The donor ships it out (they can use USPS Click-N-Ship to schedule a pickup) and sends a tracking number. We share the tracking number with the healthcare worker.

More Questions? Check out the FAQ.

*Mask Match will make sure to verify the identities of the healthcare workers before making any matches. These masks are not for purchase or for sale. Those who are matched with a healthcare worker are expected to cover the cost of shipping & handling.
