The CareMongering-Brantford Mask Makers is a small group of 25+ volunteers making cloth masks for seniors, essential workers, and people with underlying health conditions. 

Please email johnlcwang@outlook.com to arrange porch delivery within Brant County. Please make reference to HopeSpring, general mask pattern/colour requests if any, and a drop-off location. 

The masks are free of charge. We welcome cash donations, quilting cotton, unused 100% cotton fabrics, used men's t-shirts (for ties/tapes). All donations will go towards making more masks to distribute to the community.

Please visit their Facebook page Caremongering – Brantford Mask Makers for more information.
