Distribution Process
We are currently only providing pick-ups in the Oklahoma City Metro only until resources can provide shipping and/or delivery. Instructions for pickup will be emailed once donations have been received. With the flow requests, please allow 1-2 business days for response time. We appreciate your patience.
Note: In this current line of production, about 200 masks are made per week. Due to requests, we may potentially encounter backorders. We are also working diligently to include other members of the community under this line of orchestration to assist in production and distribution.
