mask bloc west mask distribution fund
Donation protected
About us
We are a mutual aid group run by a small group of volunteers in Naarm, so-called Melbourne's west, on stolen Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung country. Our aim is to provide free PPE to the community. We redistribute masks via post, local delivery and pick up, and local community pantries and street libraries.
How to support mask bloc west?
1. If you are well resourced, donate to our mask distribution fund below! All monetary donations will go towards:
- The purchase of high quality respirators in different sizes and styles for individual community requests and organizers
- Postage costs for mask requests outside of Naarm / interstate requests **
2. Donate your excess masks for us to redistribute! N95s/ KN95s/ KF94/ P2 grade respirators and unexpired RAT tests are all greatly appreciated.
DM or email us at maskblocwest at gmail dot com to organize. Drop off is located in Footscray but we also have capacity to pick up.
**Access to masks/ COVID resources is even more difficult for those outside the inner city. We would like to continue mailing masks to people who need them in both regional and rural areas.
Why are masks important?
SARS-COV-2 is transmitted through the air we breathe, especially in enclosed spaces without ventilation. Outdoor transmission is also possible when people are unmasked and in close range. 40% of COVID infections are asymptomatic and reinfection is common. Everyone is at risk of disability following infection with SARS-COV-2. Wearing a high-quality mask such as a N95/ KN95 or P2 respirator protects yourself and your community. Silence = death. Resist COVID eugenics!
