The most vulnerable in Thunder Bay are getting a lending hand with cloth masks.
The United Way launched the Facing Forward initiative in partnership with the Thunder Bay Community Foundation, Thunder Bay District Health Unit and the City of Thunder Bay, which provides workplaces, families, and organizations with a way to purchase cloth masks for themselves and helping to provide masks for those in most need.
“As our community continues to grapple with the coronavirus pandemic, it is important that we adopt all necessary measures to protect ourselves and our communities against the spread of COVID-19 in our area.” says Albert Brule, CEO of United Way of Thunder Bay. “[Our organization] believes everyone deserves fair access to masks, but unfortunately many don’t have the means to purchase cloth masks for themselves or their families.”
