What to Share When You Contact HelpSierraBreathe
Asking for N95 masks
Let us know your town or neighborhood, about how many people need masks, who they are (such as farmworkers, unhoused residents, seniors or outdoor workers) and the best way to reach you. We give priority to communities nearest active fires and to people who can't escape the smoke.
Becoming part of the coalition
We welcome community groups, mutual aid networks, clinics, shelters and local businesses that can help hand out masks. Tell us about your organization, the area you serve and the kind of support you can provide.
