On July 7th, the AYLUS Columbus Branch finished making and donated another 100 goody bags that consisted of DIY cloth masks, WHO-recommended handrubs, COVID-19 informational pamphlets, and COVID-19 word search. This time, these goody bags, together with 8 16-oz bottles of handrub, were donated to Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA). Volunteers Rachel Zhu, Christina Jin, Angelika-Lili Susanto, Eileen Liang, Andrew Xia, Patrick Wang, Erica Shen, June Ni, Brenna Li, and Aidan Li made the cloth masks. The COVID-19 pamphlets were designed by Andrea Yu and folded by Emma Yu and Catherine Harman, with the accompanying word search designed by Brenna Li. The handrub labels were designed and printed by Dustin He. The goody bags were packaged and labeled by Brenna Li and Aidan Li.
COTA representative, Mallory, expressed sincere thanks to the volunteers and AYLUS-Columbus organization when she came to pick up the donation. She also tweeted the picture she took with the team on COTA social media account and recognized the group’s contribution. According to Mallory, COTA still serves over 25,000 riders daily.
