Hello Bay Area!

Please place our PPE request here. We ask that you request only what your facility NEEDS (please do not stockpile) as this is a time intensive process for our generous volunteers. Be sure to fill out this form completely so that we can most efficiently match you with Volunteer Makers in the community. Please remember, all homemade PPE are made completely by volunteers and each is an individually hand crafted work.  They may not be created equally, but are all made with love.  They are not surgical grade and they are not medically tested but it's our hope it will help you extend the life of your equipment.

To request PPE items not included on this form please email us at MakeMePPEbayarea@gmail.com and let us connect you to someone in our network who can work with you to get you what you need. Please let us know how we can support you during this time.

Disclaimer: This is a harm reduction device.  Commercially available masks meet regulatory guidelines, but homemade masks may not, and are to be used at your own risk.  The mask's safety or effectiveness for personal protection is not proven and cannot be assumed. Effectiveness is substantially increased if there is eye covering like goggles or a face mask.  All other safety measures should still be maintained:  hand washing, not touching the mask or face and physical distancing of 6 feet whenever possible (caregivers and cashiers, for instance, are not always able to maintain this distance). Remove the mask to eat or drink, and at the end of needing it each day and do not reuse it without washing/drying. Assume your hands and any surface touched by a used mask needs to be cleaned with soap and water/ disinfected. If the mask becomes wet, it needs to be changed. Have an extra mask with you at all times.
