Break the Outbreak IN Fresno
Meet The Team
We are a group of college students from Fresno who creates face masks and faces shields to donate them to local businesses, restaurants, and grocery stores that do not have any. The purpose of our project “Break the Outbreak – Fresno” is to assist the public in staying safe and healthy in these unprecedented times.

I decided to start a chapter in Fresno because I believe there is a lot of potential in students and the community that want to make our community a safer place to live and also slow the spread of COVID-19. As a pre-medical student I believe it is my duty to help in providing PPE to small businesses that do not have access to it and also take this as an opportunity to educate those about the risks that come with not wearing face coverings.

My motivation behind joining this organization is because Break the Outbreak aligns with my goals in helping the community throughout this pandemic. During this quarantine, I realized just how much misinformation there is and how fast it spreads to rule this pandemic as a hoax. Educating locals on this topic and providing PPE is essential to slow the spread and build up stronger communities. I wanted to be part of the solution and not the problem. We are all better as a team.

I always enjoy helping people however, during this pandemic it was apparent that our help was most needed now. I have made masks with my family to help many nursing homes and other individuals who need them. So seeing this chapter that wanted to help others and have the common goal with me I knew I wanted to join it.
