To ensure that the medical masks that are in short supply are available to medical professionals on the front lines, people are being advised to purchase or create their own non-medical face masks—and Mask Makers Club is a directory where people can find protective solutions while supporting local businesses. Mask Makers Club helps to connect buyers directly with independent makers around the world.
On the site, users can apply filters to refine their searches for makers and locally made masks by country and city. Some mask makers even give the option for users to buy or donate packs of masks so that they can be distributed to essential workers and local organizations in need.

- Mask Donations
- Allowing users to donate packs of masks to essential workers and organizations in need can increase brand awareness and social responsibility efforts.
Sectors Adopting This
