The Westfield Education Foundation (WEF) recently received a product donation with a retail value of $144,000 from the Kids in Need Foundation.
KINF partnered with Lysol and Teachers’ Treasures to supply the Foundation with 40 palettes of wipes. With the help of Westfield Washington Schools staff, the wipes were immediately distributed throughout all nine schools, the maintenance office, the transportation department, and Central Office.
In 2022, with this donation, WEF is promoting a Clean Start for the Westfield community. The Foundation has partnered with Open Doors of Westfield, Merciful H.E.L.P, Heart and Soul Clinic of Westfield, Westfield Washington Township, Student Impact, WWS PTOs, and the Westfield Washington Public Library for distribution of the wipes outside of schools. Wipes are available for free at the Westfield Washington Public Library and the Westfield Aquatics YMCA & YMCA Studio. Wipes are available for all Westfield residents.
WEF Executive Director Ashley Knott said that this donation came at a great time for the community.
“COVID has created many additional expenses and hardships for our students, staff, community, and families,” Knott said. “The health of our students and staff is essential for their well-being and education, so receiving a semi-truck full of wipes helped fill a need, without depleting the budget.”
