Break the Outbreak IN New York City
Meet The Team
We are a group of high-schoolers from NYC that aim to create face masks and face shields to donate them to local businesses, restaurants, and grocery stores that do not have any. The purpose of our project, Break the Outbreak – New York City, is to assist the public in staying safe and healthy in these unprecedented times.

When I first heard about Break the Outbreak I was immediately inspired. The mission and goals of the organization are very important ones, especially for a state like New York, which was hit so hard by the Covid-19 pandemic. That is why I’m extremely thrilled to be the Executive Director of the New York region and continue to fundraise for more masks, PPE, and care packages for those who need it.

Like everyone else, I was disappointed that my summer plans, school, and other activities had been canceled. I then realized how fortunate I was. Yes, my plans had been ruined but at least my family, friends, and I were healthy and able to supply ourselves with masks, gloves, and other equipment to help avoid getting sick and infecting others. I decided that I would do whatever I could to help those who can’t afford or aren’t able to find that equipment.

I wanted to join BTOB because Covid-19 has been such a strain on my life and everyone’s lives. Slowing the virus’s spread and flattening the curve is something I truly believe in and want to be a part of. When I learned BTOB’s mission included these goals, I knew I had to help.
