A press release states that the donation will help more than 1,300 families will receive the much-needed personal hygiene products to support their overall health and wellness, as well as their at-home learning while schools remain closed.

We hope these items will help ease burdens and protect the well-being of the families and students of East Cleveland.”

Various officials also recognized Landry’s contribution:

“Now more than ever, every member of our community should have what they need to stay healthy,” said Cathy Cooper, Senior Director of Community Partnerships and Giving for Meijer. “We were glad to help Jarvis make his idea for supporting the health of East Cleveland families a reality.”

“The East Cleveland City School District is thankful for the generous donations from Jarvis Landry and Meijer Grocery Stores,” said East Cleveland City Schools Chief Executive Officer and Superintendent Dr. Henry Pettiegrew II. “The personal and dental hygiene items are needed by our families as we shelter in place and stop the spread of COVID-19.
