Where to Donate Homemade Masks in Boise

The continued spread of COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus, continues to impact every aspect of our daily lives.

Even individuals who do not show any symptoms yet have the virus can unknowingly spread it rapidly. Because this virus is still a threat to the entire population, the CDC is encouraging all individuals to wear protective masks over their noses and mouths when leaving the house.

Personal Protective Equipment, known as PPE, can potentially prevent the wearer from contracting an infection.

Thankfully, there are alternatives for the general public, including homemade masks.
