Masks Campaign – COVID 19

Our COVID-19 campaign has started! Unfortunately, because of these unprecedented times, all our events and planned field work this summer have been canceled. Our team around the world is currently pulling together to use all their time and resources to help in all the ways they can.

Our seamstresses have switched from making Piggy’s plush toy merch (http://piggytale.storenvy.com/) to making masks to send to hospitals, clinics, and people sick with COVID-19 who are running out of masks. Many of the masks in use around the world are single use, so having these amazing, washable and reusable masks not only benefits the people we’re helping, but continues to do that little bit to help the environment too.

Our seamstress Gina (https://www.supersoxshop.com/), just finished making mask number 200:

And, this is just one of the hospitals to which we are sending masks for nurses. This is Wake Med hospital in Raleigh where tents are housing COVID-19 patients:

This week, we are also sending masks to hospitals in Atlanta, hospitals in NYC, and to clinic nurses and COVID-19 patients everywhere who are running out of masks.
