The face masks, designed to fit children and employees of these organizations, are intended to help reduce contamination risk associated with COVID-19.
In a statement, Cox said it was able to leverage its supply chain to access face masks and help replace depleted supplies. The masks for children, Cox said, will help ensure kids’ and employees’ safety as these groups ease toward more-normal operations.
“As many of us know too well, our children were impacted in a significant manner by the need to socially distance, both from missing their friends and the guidance provided by their instructors and volunteers that indulged their creative energies,” said Jay Allbaugh, senior vice president and region manager, Cox Communications.
The company works to support community organizations that encourage science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics learning, as well as programs that help young people explore technology.
