Finding a face mask was a bit hard during the onset of the pandemic, especially with a lot of people hoarding masks that they would then sell for a higher price. But as months passed by, we can say that today there are more than enough stocks of face masks in the market.

And though they are now cheaper than before, the cost of securing enough face masks for personal use can also be expensive considering how many are needed in a month. So as a small gesture to help augment the stocks of face masks in every household, I’ve gathered some places to get free face masks online and offline.
Here’s Where to Find Free Face Masks Online
There are several brands and physical stores that offer free face mask to anyone.
Take a look at some of them below and learn how to get these face mask samples for you and your loved ones:
1. DHVANI
DHVANI is an activewear company that has started an initiative called, “A Mask for Every American.” It is by this campaign that they can give away free, washable, eco-friendly, and 100% cotton masks with adjustable ear loops.
One can claim a free face mask from them by visiting their site and providing an email address to the designated box. They will also require one’s name and billing address. And they will ask whether you are an essential worker and/or a healthcare worker. The answer will not affect their decision on whether you will receive a free face mask or not.
All masks are paid for by donation. Aside from their “A Mask for Every American” campaign, they are also selling a 1 million dollar mask through their #MillionDollarMask Challenge where 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the production and distribution of reusable masks to everyone in the United States who needs one.
2. Dustless Tools
To do their part in helping out with the COVID-19 pandemic, Dustless Tools are eager about donating sewn masks daily. But since they are only giving away ten masks per day, the requests will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis and will be evaluated based on need.
The reusable free face masks that they are giving away have a filter pocket, a filter insert, and an adjustable earloop for comfort and ease of use.
To request a free face mask, simply fill-up the form here. They will be asking for your complete name, email address, phone number, and shipping address.
3. MaskHelpers
MaskHelpers live by their name. They act as a bridge that connects people who need free, non-medical grade, and reusable face masks with those who want to make and donate them. They also help willing benefactors to provide supplies directly to people who are willing to make masks to be given away.

4. Four Loko

5. Simply Seattle
Simply Seattle is an eCommerce store that sells apparel, as well as gift and souvenir items. They are giving away free face masks to anyone, and they also have plenty of prints to choose from.
Anyone who wants to get a free face mask from them just needs to pay the shipping and handling fee which is $4.99 for every mask.

6. Atrium Health
Atrium Health wants to make it easier for everyone in North Carolina to protect themselves and others by wearing a mask. That is why they are leading a private-public partnership along with other organizations to supply over 2 million masks throughout the region of Charlotte.
Businesses and organizations that are willing to be part of this initiative, can fill-up and send the request form by clicking here.
The free face masks can also be picked up at several YMCA and brewery locations in North Carolina.
In-Person Stores That Offer Free Face Masks
Large retail chains and outlet stores have also started requiring all their customers to wear a mask inside all of their stores. And some of these places offer free face masks for anyone who doesn’t have one.
Below are some of the stores that give out free face masks to their customers:
7. Whole Foods
Starting in July 2020, Whole Foods, the upscale grocery chain owned by Amazon have required all their customers to wear a face mask. They are providing free face masks at the entrance of all their stores to anyone who doesn’t have one.
It's a giant box of free samples and it comes right to your door at no cost.

If you intend to visit Target one of these days, I also have an article talking about the 25 ways how you can get free Target gift cards. You can check it out here.
Keep an Eye Out for Promotional Face Masks
The Holidays are coming, so expect that free promotional face masks will flood the entrance gates of stores nationwide. You can also check out the social media accounts of your favorite brands to see if they are already giving away free face masks and how you can have one.
It’s also a good idea to monitor the hashtags #freefacemask or #facemaskgiveaway on Instagram. Small businesses are throwing out regular giveaways to their loyal followers, and with the presence of the pandemic, it’s very much likely that they would give out free face masks one of these days.
If you are hesitant to go out and shop, I also have articles that talk about ways on how you can get free clothes and free t-shirts online.
