Inspire Me: Marin County Masketeers sew masks for communities in need

Lee Budish founded the Mill Valley Masketeers in March to provide desperate medical personnel with vital pandemic-protective masks. It was such a success that the volunteer Masketeers have redoubled their efforts to include local homeless, undocumented workers and other individuals who can’t afford masks. 

In Marin County, “we live in a bubble,” Budish said. “But just because many of us can afford a mask, that doesn’t mean everyone can. You can’t buy masks when you can’t afford groceries or medications.”
