Homemade Community Masks: Make & Wear or To Make & Donate

We appreciate the community’s interest in making and donating cloth masks for use by community members. Foundation Health Partners and the Fairbanks Area Community Emergency Response Team are partnering to provide education, collection, sanitation, and distribution of donated hand-sewn fabric masks.

​

What does MASK UP mean?

The most important part of MASKING UP is
covering your nose and mouth when in public.
You don't need medical masks or to be an
expert seamstress to start masking up today. ​

​

MAKE & WEAR    or    MAKE & DONATE 

 

We have instructions and recommended videos for those who wish to make-your-own or make-to-donate.  
 

Make-to-donate masks will be collected, sanitized and distributed by the Fairbanks Area Community Emergency Response Team.

​

**Please NOTE, we do not currently have an inventory of fabric and elastic, but would welcome those donations to provide to volunteers making masks. 

​

For collection and questions, please contact: CommunityMasks@gmail.com
