The Northeast Cobb-based Tommy Nobis Center has produced and distributed more than 2,100 COVID-19 preventtion kits for Cobb school students with disabilities and their families.
The kits contain masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, and COVID education materials and were assembled by the center’s EYES (Early Youth Employment Services) summer program participants during the summer.

The initiative was made possible by support from the Cobb County Community Development Block Grant and provided hands-on training and work experience for students with disabilities while allowing them to give back to their community and support their peers in a unique and valuable way.
“The recent surge in COVID-19 cases within Cobb County continues to cause concern across our community,” says Dave Ward, President and CEO of Tommy Nobis Center. “This project gave students the opportunity to work and contribute to the wellbeing of their fellow students.”
