During COVID-19, many essential workers lack access to basic medical supplies like masks. Community members have found alternative DIY methods to stay safe, like creating masks with old t-shirts! MakerShare is a platform where essential workers can request supplies from community members, and community members are rewarded and recognized for their donations through a friendly leaderboard style competition.
Work with those closest to you through our location-tracking service.
Donate more medical supplies and watch your name rise up the leaderboards!
You can make an impact and fight COVID-19 from the comfort of your home!

What our essential workers and community members say about the MakerShare platform.
Essential Worker
Our pharmacy desperately needed masks. Through MakerShare, I was able to find community members who were willing to donate hundreds of masks. Now, our pharmacists are able to stay safe while providing medicine to our community. I would recommend this service to any building hosting essential workers!
Helpful Community Member!
With shelter-in-place policies, I had so much time on my hands! I wanted to help essential workers, but I didn't know how to get in contact with them to see what they needed! Makershare allowed me to see which exact supplies were needed and where they were going. I was able to directly help those serving in my community! I would recommend this service to any community member that loves helping out!
