Thousands of masks are being delivered to educators in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools system over the next couple of days.
A group known as Community For Safe Schools spearheaded a fundraiser on social media to purchase masks for teachers and staff in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools. That led to a partnership with Wake Forest Baptist Health and the district.
The medical center is donating 30,000 KN95 masks for the initiative. The group is also providing more than 8,000.
