LOS ANGELES - Californer -- BYD (Build Your Dreams) announced it has donated 100,000 single-use surgical child-sized and adult masks and hand sanitizer for students, teachers and others in Los Angeles Unified, the second-largest school district in the United States.
A portion of the donated masks fit children and come in pink and blue. The rest are designed to fit adults.
"We are pleased to be able to give back to our community," BYD President Stella Li said. "Our students and teachers need to be protected, and we are glad BYD Care is able to help."
