We Have Masks
We get masks to those who need them the most by filling the gap between suppliers and facilities at no cost to either end, thanks to donations and community mask-makers.
Over 14,000 masks have been donated nationwide!

What We Do
WeHaveMasks receives mask requests through our I NEED MASKS form. Each request is verified and given a priority ranking (healthcare, first responder, school, essential work team, general public, and others).
To fulfill these requests, WeHaveMasks sources homemade masks from mask-makers across the country who are member of or Mask Makers Collective. WeHaveMasks also purchases manufactured cloth masks and professional-grade respirators when funding and availability allows.
These much needed donations cover shipping costs and help get material supplies to our mask-makers. Masks are inspected and distributed to those in need using our request and fulfillment process.
Our WeHaveMasks for Schools initiative is suppling material to schools so they can make their own masks using a no-sew assembly process developed specifically for this effort. Learn more, register your school, or donate at WeHaveMasksforSchools.com.
If you need masks, visit our I NEED MASKS page where there is a form for general requests and one for school use.
If you simply want to help, please DONATE. We rely on donations to cover the shipping costs to get masks from sewists across the country to areas with urgent needs. WeHaveMasks also supplies materials to those sewing masks and purchases manufactured masks to fill the gap. We also accept donated supplies and services that will us get masks made and delivered.
Join the Mask Maker Collective community to stay up-to-date on where our masks are going and to know when there’s an urgent need you may want to help with.
If you are a teacher, student, or school administrator, please join our WeHaveMasks for Schools community.
