Community Groups

Help us grow the local COVID-cautious community!

See someone else masking? Say “hi” and invite them to join our local community!

We made some fancy business cards you can give fellow maskers to thank them for masking and share this website with them. You can print some out yourself or ask us to send you some professionally printed ones for free.

Masked Events Calendar

The local COVID-catious community organizes regular outdoor masked events about twice a month. This is a great way to make friends with other COVID-cautious people!

You can find a list of the upcoming events in the calendar below. We also cross-post these events to the Facebook group and Mask Bloc Signal chat.

Most events require an RSVP (check the calendar event for details).

Protect Yourself

Fit testing

A mask will only do it’s job filtering the air you breath when the air is going through the mask rather than around it at the edges. Pay particular attention to areas such as near your nose, chin, and cheeks. The next step up in verifying your mask’s performance and that it seals against your face and doesn’t leak is to do a fit test.

We offer free mask fit testing for COVID-cautious community members. Contact us to schedule a fit test.

DIY portable air purifiers

Feel free to reach out if you want help building your own.
