Donations
With over 50 youth volunteers from all over the Bay Area, stretching from Santa Clara all the way up to San Francisco, our project gathered over 500 masks and heartwarming, encouraging notes: ALL of which were donated to our local Mills-Peninsula Medical Center. Pictured here is Steven Huang, San Mateo High's Red Cross Co-President, donating all of the made masks and notes to the medical staff at Mills-Peninsula.
COVID-19 is notorious for being an airborne virus, and PPE, such as masks, gowns, goggles, and shoe covers, work towards limiting the droplets containing the virus, or viral particles that float in the air, from infecting hospital staff. Without proper personal protective equipment (shortened to PPE), medical personnel fall victim to the very illnesses that they are trying to treat.
The Match the Mask initiative works towards providing medical staff with the bare minimum equipment to combat the spread of the virus while at the same time keeping our brave doctors and nurses safe. Match the Mask employs the youth of the Bay Area in creating homemade DIY masks and heartwarming, encouraging notes from the comfort of their homes. Learn how it all works here!
