The Children First Fund and the Chicago Public Schools received a much-welcomed donation of 1.7 million face coverings to provide safety to teachers, students and staff to begin the 2020/21 school year. The 1.2 million cloth reusable face coverings and 500,000 disposable face coverings will enhance the schools existing inventory.
"As we work to ensure the health and safety of our school communities, we are grateful for the support and leadership of Chicago companies," said CPS CEO, Dr. Janice K. Jackson. "This generous donation from Grainger helps us respond to the evolving needs of our students and staff, continue to provide masks for our essential staff in school buildings, and be prepared to welcome school communities back when it is safe to do so."
