Ocean State Job Lot wants to help customers who want to make their own masks, so they launched their Mask Fabric For Free* campaign.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended everyone should wear a cloth face mask when out in public, as masks may help reduce the chance of spreading COVID-19. And the CDC says surgical and N95 masks should be prioritized for healthcare workers to protect themselves. That leaves fabric masks for those who are not healthcare workers.
Visit any Ocean State Job Lot store to pick up your free fabric*, most of which is a high-quality cotton/polyester blend. You will find a display with the fabric set up in each stores.
- Two sizes are available: If you are making one mask, please take a cloth napkin.
- If you are making multiple masks, please take a tablecloth.
- Customers are limited to no more than five units of each fabric type to give as many people as possible the opportunity to participate.
- See a store leader with any questions.
- Ocean State has enough fabric for one million masks! Some stores are giving away fabric very quickly, so they’re working to replenish stores as they run low.
*Please go through the checkout line as you would to make a purchase. The fabric will ring through the point of sale for one cent. This allows the store to track the amount of fabric they are giving away. Customers will not be charged for the fabric.
