Ocean State Job lot is trying to make it easier for all of us to stay healthy during the Covid19 crisis.
The discount closeout retailer is launching what it calls “Mask Fabric For Free” campaign. The hope is for nearly 2 million homemade cloth face masks to be created.
Customers are invited to visit the newly-created displays in each of the retailer’s 140 store locations to pick up free, high-quality cotton-polyester blended fabric, in the form of cloth napkins and tablecloths, to craft their DIY-masks. To ensure that as many people as possible are able to benefit from the program, customers are limited to five units of fabric.
OSJL also continues to utilize its global supply chain to source one million critically-needed surgical and N95 face masks, which are being donated to hospitals and other medical facilities in the region.
