Supply Depots
Supply Depots
Each supply depot has a box to obtain materials from and a donation box to donate 100% cotton fabric and other materials to. (No flannel, please.) The intention of these depots is to facilitate touchless sharing of mask-making materials such as elastic, thread and sewing machine needles. All inquiries about depots can be directed to sovtsewsmasks@gmail.com.
Reminders for picking up supplies:
Wear gloves or sanitize hands prior to and after touching anything
Be respectful of the location & of others who might be picking up & dropping off
Practice social distancing
Take only what you need
These supplies are for donated masks only
Supply depots may or may not have materials available for pickup at any given time. Please know this before stopping by a depot.
Note: As of 6/25/2020, we have started distributing kits for child-sized masks at the Brattleboro Coop & Putney General Store supply depots! Patterns have been put out at the Brattleboro Coop and will be out at the Putney General Store by later this afternoon. Kits and patterns for child-sized masks will be coming to other supply depots in the future. Thanks to Judy Haines Siler and her team for putting together these kits! 🙏❤️🎉
