We love our supporters! If you’ve donated masks or funds, here’s what your donations support. We look for the best deals on masks and tests, but shipping and other expenses still add up. Your support helps us put more masks and tests in the hands of people who need them. #AlaskaSky #MaskBloc

Receipt for three 100 packs of masks for free, plus $75 for shipping. We buy masks when they are on sale from trusted retailers, but we often still pay shipping.

We purchase and give away free masks and COVID-19 tests, including shipping them across Alaska. Receipt for three 100 packs of masks all for free from Be Healthy, plus $70 for shipping.

Buying COVID-19 tests is often expensive. We give these away for free, too! Receipt for Altruan antigen quick tests for $181.60 plus $40.02 for shipping.

If you have a surplus of masks lying around or are buying masks to prepare for volcanic ash/smoke/respiratory disease, please consider donating a few to the bloc! We’ve had an increase in the # of requests recently, and we’d really appreciate your help getting masks to those who need them. #Alaska

Mount Spurr has been showing signs of possible eruption. It is always a good idea to have high filtration masks (like N95s) available in case of disasters like a potential volcanic eruption. Air purifiers can also help with indoor air quality during such an event. #AlaskaSky #MaskUp #Alaska

In April 2024, we started the Alaska Mask Bloc with the hope of encouraging our community to mask up, while also providing quality masks to Alaskans in need. In the 8 months we've been in operation, we've distributed 881 masks, and 176 rapid antigen tests to Alaskans across the state! 1/4 #AlaskaSky
