The Rexroad's remarkable efforts include donating masks to anyone who can't afford them. Masks are available to ship at www.masksforcitizens.com. John's wife Teri experienced kidney failure a few years ago, he donated his own organ and ever since the couple has regularly worn masks during flu season, as advised by their transplant team. The experience helped them to understand the importance of widely available, high-quality masks, especially when it comes to preventing the spread of COVID-19.
John & Teri expanded their award-winning netting company to make urgently needed masks that are both effective and affordable options for the public. For every mask purchased, they are donating a mask for those who are in need, including homeless shelters, assisted living centers, First Responders - Police, Fire, EMTs, and more. The couple are running at a loss in order to donate and provide these masks to the public, and they are getting thousands of orders from across the country.
Not all face protection is created equal - the Rexroads and their staff are creating the highest quality, most durable, and machine washable masks that fit snugly with multiple layers of protection. John knows firsthand the importance of protecting the most vulnerable and immune compromised, which includes his wife of over 40 years.
John and Teri are moving fast to serve our nation during this challenging time. With this Covid-19 outbreak, they have completely shifted their manufacturing resources to supply our nation and communities with urgently needed masks. Prior to retooling their company to manufacture masks, John was the leader in the safety and netting industry. In business for over 25 years, his company Pucada Leading Edge has designed and developed the netting system used on the Washington Monument, NASA, Lockheed, G.M., Universal Studios, Ground Zero and more.

Note: After visiting the MasksForCitizens.com website, I did not find the description of the fabric being used for the masks. For materials it currently says "3 layers thick", but I do not know the fiber content or construction.
