The Hialeah chapter of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs saw how the COVID-19 pandemic and remote learning negatively affected families and students working from home and took steps to fix the problem.
Members of the club donated $10,000 in February to the Miami Lakes K-8 Center.
The money is to purchase 25 laptops and a cart for use in the school, at 14250 NW 67th Ave.
The new computers will replace devices that were lent to students who are studying remotely.
The GFWC Woman’s Club of Hialeah was founded in 1922 by Lau A. Curtiss, with a goal to establish a library in the city, it said.
The volunteer service organization has been dedicated to improving the quality of life in the community ever since.
The club meets via Zoom on the third Saturday of each month.
It is hosting its annual membership drive through Mother’s Day.
