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. Unfortunately, this respiratory virus can be transmitted from person to person with a simple sneeze or couch. 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.

PPE includes specially designed N95 masks and surgical masks, however, due to a shortage in supply, government officials are asking that these items are reserved exclusively for the use of individuals in the healthcare industry. Thankfully, there are alternatives for the general public, including homemade masks.
