Customer Connie returns her box of made masks to the Muskego branch. “She thinks it’s awesome that North Shore is participating in this and that it is for a great cause,” branch manager Stephanie Bluemel says. “She was happy to help.”

There are still a few days left to help the #MaskUpMKE effort. As we mentioned last week, the initiative will wrap up this Tuesday, June 30.

In the meantime, if you and your family and friends want to help make no-sew masks to help reduce COVID-19 in the greater Milwaukee area, you can pick up a kit at any of our southeast Wisconsin locations. The only requirements are that no one in your household can be showing symptoms of COVID-19 and that you’ll need at least one stapler. It takes about 15 person-hours to finish a box of 700 masks.
