This site matches mask makers with those who need masks. Makers sign up (using this form) for a sewing assignment of up to 20 masks. Those who need masks (aka "recipients") sign up (using this form) for the quantity of masks they need. The site automatically matches makers and recipients at random, with priority given to elderly and immunosuppressed individuals.

When a maker is 'assigned' to make masks, they will receive an email with the mailing labels, required postage amount, pattern and instructions for up to 5 recipients. They'll sew the masks and mail them from their home mailbox. The recipient will receive a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the maker, so they can share a quick note of thanks (& optional suggested donation of $5-10 per mask, for those in a financial position to do so).

The maker comes back to the site for as many assignments as they like.

Recipients can request up to 10 masks for themselves. If they need more than 10 masks for their organization, they'll first need to be validated by phone.
