the idea
The MASKerAID is a beaded necklace that connects to your mask making it easy to wear. You can wear your mask as usual, but then conveniently pull it down when you don’t need it and have it stored comfortably out of the way.
This project has taken off beyond my wildest dreams. It has been featured on all the local news networks and in other media. The coverage has helped me raise a lot more money and bring attention to the great work of JFS.
MY BAR MITZVAH
My name is Jonah and as part of my Bar Mitzvah which was on June 12, 2021, I started MASKerAID as a service project to raise money for a cause that is important to me.
By spending my time making and selling these MASKerAIDs, I am helping to solve a current issue and also using the proceeds to help out people who are in need of food (a growing concern during this time).
THE CAUSE
I will be donating all proceeds from the sales of MASKerAIDs to Jewish Family Services (JFS). JFS has a food pantry that serves thousands of needy residents here in Kansas City.
In addition to helping the food pantry generally, much of the money I donate will specifically be used for their “Kesher KC Care Bags” that people can give out to those in immediate need. In fact, I helped bring the Kesher KC Care Bag program to KC after seeing a similar concept in another community and suggesting that JFS consider the program.
a great deal
These handmade custom-designed MASKerAIDs are $15 each with 100% of the proceeds going to JFS. Thanks to the overwhelming demand and support, I have raised over $20,000 to date! This has far surpassed my original goal of $1,800 for JFS and the project is still going strong.
