Thanksgiving Covid Style 2020

Westlawn Youth Network Thanksgiving Covid Style 2020

 
As with most people, Thanksgiving at Westlawn Youth Network (WYN) looked a little different this year. 
WYN, partnering with Covenant Catering, was again able to give our neighbors a delicious
Thanksgiving Day meal! 
This year full meals were prepackaged and handed out from WYN's youth center door.  
 

One of our neighbors was hesitant to come and receive meals because they didn't own any masks and thought they would not be served. However, because of the generosity of the Westlawn Gospel Chapel's Women's Ministry, this neighbor not only received a dinner but also a PPE kit which included a mask.  Kits were given to each person which included masks, gloves, wipes, hand sanitizer 
& lip balm.

In addition to virtual programs with our youth, the WYN staff has been using this time as an opportunity to take training courses. We have also been busy renovating our facilities in anticipation of in person programs. Air purifiers have been installed in all our faculties which will reduce airborne and surface contaminants by 99.997%. Along with sanitizing all our buildings on a regular basis we have installed an industrial fan in our youth center to promote
better air flow. 
 
We at WYN want to thank you for giving us the opportunity to make these upgrades and to serve here in our neighborhood of Chicago
