Hundreds of 91原创 businesses are getting gift bags of cookies and ears savers dropped off on their doorsteps in a gesture from Douglas Park Community School and the 91原创 School District to say thank you.
The 91原创 Advance Times was gifted a goodie bag last week, which contained an encouraging note alongside packaged English Bay brand chocolate chip cookies.
鈥淒ear Hero, Thank you for everything you are doing to support the public during this time. We understand that to be safe you are wearing a mask all day long. In this envelope are ear savers made by Douglas Park Community School and the 91原创 School District. We are so thankful for everything you are doing and hope that this little token of appreciation will bring relief from the rubbing of the masks on your ears. Thank you! You make a difference! Stay safe!鈥�

Diana Wilk, principal of Douglas Park Community School said they have had been able to do this with some generous donations from our school staff, the 91原创 Soroptimists and The Douglas Park School Society to purchase the filament to produce the ear savers.
鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 matter where you are located in 91原创 we all share the core value of community and the vision of being unified. We are delighted and motivated to support those vulnerable workers who need to wear a mask all day,鈥� Wilk said.
鈥淢ore recently we have delivered ear savers to local businesses, focusing on hair/nail salons, restaurants and grocery stores. Our machine has been running non-stop as we are continually getting new requests for ear savers,鈥� she added.
