Reply Thanks Mom & Dad Fund volunteers distribute 1.3 million donated masks to seniors throughout Georgia. (Picasa) In what Maureen Kelly, president of Thanks Mom & Dad Fund, is calling a wonderful conflux of timing, need and generosity , an anonymous donor has made it possible for the nonprofit organization to distribute donated hand sanitizer and 1.3 million face masks to seniors throughout the state of Georgia. In addition, providers serving some of the seniors in their homes also received sanitizer and masks. Delivery began statewide in early December and was completed mid-month, with masks made available to seniors in every Georgia county. Thanks Mom & Dad Fund is an Atlanta-based nonprofit that supports services for seniors statewide, said Kelly. Seniors have suffered through the COVID-19 pandemic due to the health threat and the isolation caused by shutdowns and stay-at-home recommendations. The situation has been especially difficult for seniors who are homebound and the people who serve them, many of whom have found it difficult to obtain personal protective equipment (PPE). My team and I are so grateful to this donor who approached us with the idea of distributing an amazing number of masks and sanitizer – for free – to help keep our elderly citizens safe. The timing couldn t be better, as our country is experiencing a post-Thanksgiving surge in infections, hospitalizations and, sadly, deaths from COVID.
