Hi I am Zee Kesler and I am the Community Coordinator at [Makers Making Change](https://makersmakingchange.com). During the COVID pandemic, many of our chapters have pivoted to get involved in PPE efforts. I am inspired to see how many makers are stepping up to help out during this time!

Below, I will post some links to groups I came across online. There are so many these are just a few I’ve come across but please add more!

**Note:** I cannot guarantee the PPE these groups are creating is in accordance with our **[COVID-19 Guidelines for Makers](https://makersmakingchange.com/covid-guidance-for-makers/)**, so I recommend you direct whichever groups you are working with to read over the above link before creating PPE for any medical professionals or community members.
