Visit COVID Shield Nexus for additional information on the overall program.

Our local county health officer's orders now allow our makerspace to reopen to members. We have finished our COVID response and made final shipments. We appreciate your willingness to help, and encourage you to reach out to other organizations continuing to make and distribute PPE.

Projects continuing to produce PPE

Maker Nexus is no longer producing and giving away PPE, our funding has run out.

If you'd like to produce PPE, or if you have PPE you want to share, some active projects we know of are:

(If you find that any of these are no longer active, please update the Wiki to reflect that.)

Outside the SF Bay Area

If you are not in the Maker Nexus area (SF Bay Area, South) you could start your own effort in your area. Your effort is two pronged: find people and supplies to make stuff; find organizations that need stuff. You don't want to make things and then have no where to deploy them.

Some ideas of places you can contact in your area:

  • The non-profit that supports your local hospital; there is often a foundation
  • A CCRC (continuing care retirement community) near you
  • On NextDoor mention what you are doing and ask for contacts into your local health care system

You should consider how you will organize your local group of volunteers. Maker Nexus uses Slack, it's free to get started. Others use Discord. Others chat by Skype or Zoom every day.

I want to Help
