United Way of Coastal Fairfield County recently donated over 10,000 masks to PT Partners for use by residents of three public housing communities: PT Barnum, Trumbull Gardens, and Charles F. Greene Homes. Despite relaxed guidelines by the Centers for Disease Control, masks are needed by local seniors, parents with unvaccinated children, workers in the public eye, and those with compromised immune systems.

PT Partners will mobilize Youth Corp Members and Resident Council members at each site to share with resident families.

The donation was made possible by Yale New Haven Health.
