We welcome donations of supplies and materials! We have developed our mask, gown, and face-shield designs in consultation with the end-users (like healthcare agencies and first responders) and have a specific list of needs.

We are running out of fabric and sewing notions.  Your contributions to our GoFundMe will help the Brigade purchase materials to provide free masks in our community!


Those wishing to donate with a check can make it payable to Julie Williams and mail it to Corvallis Sewing Brigade; 

1333 NW 17th St.; Corvallis, OR; 97330


Please note that WE ARE NOT A NON-PROFIT (so we can't give you a receipt for a tax deduction on the donation).  We're just volunteers who appreciate community support to keep purchasing supplies.

Drop off/Pick up (AKA "The HUB"):

Donations of needed items are gratefully accepted in the carport of this volunteer's home. Please tread lightly =) 


Use the bins in the carport for donations & pick-ups.  Wear your masks and gloves, and observe social distancing.  The hub can be a busy place, but we don't want it looking like the TP aisle at Costco!
