Thanks to NBC Bay Area for letting us know that Bay Area bag maker, Timbuk2, has shifted production from commuter bags to masks – working to donate 50,000 cloth face coverings and bandanas to Bay Area organizations.

They have teamed up with NBC Sports, together with its partners MLB’s San Francisco Giants and Oakland A’s, NBA’s Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings, NHL’s San Jose Sharks, MLS’s San Jose Earthquakes and NFL’s San Francisco 49ers, along with sports-apparel company Fanatics. 

They have reopened their Mission District bag-manufacturing facility to transform 10,000 T-shirts from the teams into face coverings that will be donated to community groups. These masks and face coverings are non-medical grade, so they are for essential workers, not in a medical setting.

Currently, these masks are available for select local partners, as a donation. They will be offering these non-medical grade masks for sale to the masses, once they get through the production of these donations. Please sign up here to be notified when masks will be made available for purchase.
