'We're not selling anything,' Sacco said Tuesday. 'Every single bit of this is donation-only or nothing.'
"[Monday,] we went national with delivering for Medline," Sacco said."As of Friday, we will be international because we are also sending masks to the Dominican Republic."
"A dollar here, a dollar there, you know," Sacco added."If somebody wants to pay for them, great. If not, whatever." Since the project took off, local medical facilities have been requesting the face masks, including the hospital at the University of Tennessee which asked the group for 100,000 of the face coverings. Although others in the community at large have contributed to that request, Sacco said the Knoxville Area Mask Makers have some people who are dedicated to nothing but that project.
