These masks can come in handy for healthcare workers as they can be re-used and washed. Normally, they have to change out their masks various times throughout the day, but by having a fabric mask over their medical mask it will cut down how many they have to change out immensely.

These face masks are not a replacement for the N95 masks but they are an alternative to use to better contain and slow the spread of any virus being caught by others airborne. These masks are not considered PPE by the CDC, but it is more helpful and safer to be covered than not.

TEK Brands LLC is honored to be donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our products related to mask making initiatives to No Kid Hungry. No Kid Hungry is a non-profit helping schools and community groups across the country working to implement new ways to feed children who rely on school programs for meals while schools are shut down due to COVID-19. Specialty dies for the most frequently requested mask styles are being produced to help fill the demand for these vital items while providing needed funds to No Kid Hungry.

TEK Brands has donated over a dozen machines and dies to organized hospital groups, quilt guilds and other volunteer organizations across the country to do what we can to assist those working to quickly protect the hospital workers, at-risk populations, first responders and the general public.

We will continue to support organizations as much as possible through this crisis. If you have organized groups who need cutters for to assist specific hospitals or medical facilities, please reach out to masks@accuquilt.com to contact our Executive Team.
