7 face masks that contribute to charity

  • July 04, 2020

Face masks have been one of the top precautionary measures the CDC recommends individuals use to protect each other from the rapidly-spreading coronavirus pandemic. After months of lockdown in the US, states began gradually reopening businesses for the sake of the economy. 

However, as people began leaving their homes and returning to “normal” life, many left face masks behind. After opening back up in May, Florida and Texas saw overwhelming spikes in coronavirus cases, forcing them to recently reclose bars and limit restaurant occupancy. 

Sadly, face masks might’ve been able to prevent this resurgence of the disease. A Goldman Sachs report, released on Wednesday, found that a nation-wide mask mandate would prevent the need for lockdown, saving almost 5% from US gross domestic product (GDP). 

For people looking to get a mask, the following companies are not only selling reusable, fashionable masks, but are also making donations to good causes in the process. All of the masks on this list are non-medical grade.

Everlane
