We normally make bags, now we sew masks
Joshu.org is the purpose-driven division of Joshuvela - a small design and manufacturing company in San Francisco, California. We have stopped producing bags for now and are instead building reusable cotton masks. With your support we will be getting these masks to vulnerable communities ASAP.
Our Values Amplify in Times of Crisis
We believe in sustainability all the time, even now.
A time of crisis is the optimal moment to reassess our personal values. If you are like us, and have been taking a conscious look at the role you play in the world, then you know that every purchase has power. We believe that a crisis is forcing us to choose what is really important. For us, this is to be truly sustainable and make the change to reusable products instead of disposable — in all aspects of our life.
I Protect You, You Protect Me.
Why wear a Mask?
When you wear a face mask, you keep the droplets that naturally come out of your mouth from landing on other people. It is out of mutual consideration that you wear a face mask. Hear it from the researchers here:

Why Donate?
The virus infects all people equally. However all people do not have equal access to health care, sanitation, time off work, childcare, whole foods, and the list goes on. So we are donating masks to people that are in vulnerable situations. Have a suggestion? Email us.
