I'm starting a thread of places that are selling masks as a benefit, particularly those where proceeds or goods go directly to get masks or money to people in need.
First one I came across was @kaijucutandsew on instagram, which benefits Stand With Austin. If you want one you have to jump in fast on Monday mornings central time on Instagram.
Custom Collaborative in New York: "Made in New York City by Custom Collaborative's community of artisans, your purchase provides vital income to the women in our programs who rely on fashion production work to support themselves and their families." https://www.customcollaborative.org/shop-new-products/reusable-face-mask
Bombchel factory in Liberia: "Sustainably made from old Bombchel skirts that were in storage, set to be purged in some way. Buy one mask and another gets donated to a person who can't quarantine at home because they do not have a home." https://www.shopbombchel.com/products/reversible-african-cloth-masks-for-you

Hopefully you’ll find this thread next time you need to buy a mask!
