GREEN BAY (NBC 26) -- Wisconsin Face Mask Warriors continue to answer the call by getting face masks into the hands of those in need.

So far the group has donated 193,000 masks at the rate of 6,000 masks per day.

NBC 26 was able to catch up with them today, sorting masks at the drop off location in Green Bay.

"We currently still have orders for over 100,000 masks from different health care facilities and community-based businesses, as well as from other parts of the state and now other parts of the country requesting from us as well," Liz Benecke, Zone 4 Coordinator for the Wisconsin Face Mask Warriors, explained. "Right now, we are starting to run low on supplies again."

Benecke says the Wisconsin Face Mask Warriors still need 100% cotton fabric, bias tape, elastic and thread.
