Kiwanis donation helps volunteers make face shields

Local volunteers will be making 3,000 more face shields for healthcare workers across Sarnia-Lambton.

The feat is being made possible through a $5,000 donation from the Seaway Kiwanis Club.

The club said this small group of volunteers, affiliated with the Forest Legion, has already provided 2,000 of the face shields to over 40 local organizations free of charge.

The group isn't looking for publicity for their efforts but is welcoming donations to create more face shields. They can be contacted at [email protected].

The Seaway Kiwanis Club also donated $3,000 each to the Inn of The Good Shepherd and St. Vincent de Paul Society to provide food for those in need.

No Frills also contributed $500 in food toward the cause.
