This Local Brand Is Selling Face Masks to Donate to COVID-19 Relief Efforts
The mask is eco-friendly, too!
Wearing a face mask when you go out is now a must for residents whose areas are under the enhanced community quarantine. But if you're having trouble finding one, then we have good news for you: You can order online and contribute to COVID-19 relief efforts at the same time!
On March 16, local clothing label Apartment 8 released their Care Masks—a line of eco-friendly, washable face masks that come in a variety of colors. These come in packs of three and have pockets for filters, but most importantly, all proceeds from its sales will go towards funding their donations to health workers and those in need.
We already spotted celebrities like Andrea Brillantes, Kira Balinger, and Mika Dela Cruz sporting their own Care Masks on Instagram, so if you're curious about how it looks IRL, check out their selfies below!
Apartment 8 has also been using their resources to make personal protective equipment (PPEs) for frontliners! They've already donated masks to health workers in Victoriano Luna Medical Center, Pasig City General Hospital, and Ospital ng Maynila Medical Center, to name a few. That said, they're expanding production to PPE suits and face shields as well. To donate directly for this cause, click here.
