We are only 425 masks away from reaching our goal of sending 3,000 masks to area hospitals with the help of our friends at Vermont Glove. 

We planned to end our mask drive today, April 30th. The need for these masks is ongoing, so we are committed to raising our goal to support hospitals, even if it means extending our drive after today. 

But we think it may still be possible to finish today. We just need your help. 

Hospitals still need the masks. If you donโ€™t have a sewing machine or access to materials, this is a great way to donate a mask to the health care community, while sustaining reliable local journalism. 

You can make a difference by becoming a member of VTDigger at any level — be it $1 or $100 — and send a mask today. 

We know itโ€™s a push, but thatโ€™s never held us back before. Can you help us reach our goal of 3,000 today?

We are so grateful already for the support that our members have shown us. Several hospitals have posted photos on social media to thank VTDigger members for sending them masks. 

Special thanks to Vermont Glove for their herculean efforts to produce masks for these hospitals, as well as state workers and small businesses.
