Help Make Medical Masks for Bozeman Health Providers
The Community Needs Our Help
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news,
my mother would say to me,
‘Look for the helpers.
You will always find people who are helping.’”
Fred Rogers
You may have guessed by our name, but here at Connect Property Management, LLC we are passionate about connecting people with resources. Mostly, those connections are between people and housing. But we are stepping out today to ask for help from our amazing tenants and community.
First and foremost, we want to express our deep gratitude for essential workers that are on the front lines of this COVID-19 pandemic. We appreciate you and are proud to call many of you our tenants, family and friends.
As medical supply availability becomes increasingly limited, Medical workers are facing a crisis of sourcing the tools they need to keep themselves and the community safe during this pandemic. Bozeman’s hospital and clinics have released an approved cloth Medical Mask template that they need the community’s help in producing. You can see the tutorial for the (only) approved masks here:

Supplies needed for donation : ¼ Inch Elastic, 100% Cotton fabric, Plastic coated twist ties, and thread.
Volunteer options : Sewing, Cutting Kits, Donating materials, Picking up/delivering supplies and finished products.
There are so many ways to help while also practicing the CDC’s call for social distancing. Here are some ideas of how to connect with those organizing resources for current needs. If you have a need or have resources to donate, here are some great places to get connected.
- Join the GV Community Support Volunteers group on Facebook
- Join the Medical Masks For Bozeman group on Facebook
- Follow Greater Impact Inc. on Facebook
- If you’re not on social media, reach out to us directly here at Connect and we will get you connected in alternate ways.
In this difficult time, it is our hope that we can remember that we are in this together. If there is a specific need you have, please reach out. We are here for you in a capacity far beyond collecting your rent. If you are homebound and need supplies, we will work to get you connected to those resources. If you are needing support and prayer, we are available for that too.
Yours truly, The Connect Property Management, LLC Team
