The Board of Trustees of SHAI, Sephardic Heritage Alliance Inc.,  a local not-for-profit organization, has donated 5,000 wrapped prepackaged sterile surgical masks to the Great Neck Public Schools for distribution with the district’s pandemic Grab-and-Go meal program.

Since the mid-March change from in-person to remote learning, the school district has continued to prepare and distribute meals to children and families in need. Thanks to SHAI, the families also receive wrapped packages of masks.  Pictured here are noble GNPS staff about to distribute meals.

SHAI has a long track record of supporting local institutions such as Great Neck Public Schools and the Town of North Hempstead, to name just two. To learn more about SHAI’s decades serving the local community please visit  www.shaiusa.org.
