About Us

MASKmission Inc., a Black-owned 501(c)(3) charitable organization located in Miami, Florida was founded in 2020 by Leah McLeod, a college sophomore, who jumped into action during a worldwide pandemic to save lives and help bring a sense of calming relief to communities in need. During the several months in quarantine, she rallied her household and a couple friends and with an old sewing machine, handmade and distributed over 10,000 reusable masks and scrub caps for not only frontline workers, but also children, the homeless, shelters, hospitals, nursing homes, and schools nationwide.

MASKmission took the events that ensued during the pandemic as a catalyst to help change a broken system that at the time, was not in place to help those who needed it most. MASKmission’s goal is to be able to save lives by helping Miami communities prepare and have emergency items readily available and a system in place even before the crisis begins.

MASKmission’s vision continues to Motivate and Spread Kindness (MASK) by responding in times of crises to improve the health and well being of underserved and historically marginalized communities in and around the Greater Miami area.   

“During these times, it breaks my heart to see people so divided, ..and so I feel as though giving back to my community brings a sense of unity within the chaos.” – Leah McLeod, founder of MASKmission Inc.
