Build a mask to help a person with a disability access their sip and puff devices while staying COVID safe!

Masks produced during this event will be supplied to inpatients and outpatients of the Shepherd Center. The Shepherd Center will also coordinate the COVID safe distribution of Sip and Puff masks created in the Atlanta, Georgia area. For those producing masks in other areas in the United States and Canada hosts will review how to supply masks to sip and puff users in your area.

Following registration, participants are emailed the Zoom invitation for virtual participation 2 days before and the day of the event. Also included in the email there will be instructions for production, and information regarding supplying masks to sip and puff users following production.
