Break the Outbreak IN San Jose
Meet The Team
We are a group of students from Lynbrook High School that has joined an initiative. We started a break the outbreak chapter in San Jose which aims to create face masks and face shields for donation towards local businesses, restaurants, seniors, hospitals, care facilities, and grocery stores. The purpose of our project is to assist the public in staying safe and healthy during these unprecedented times.

I chose to start a BTO branch in San Jose as it appealed to me that local businesses in my community were experiencing difficulties to assist customers when reopening during this pandemic. I have an innate passion for assisting the community and always seek to step up as a leader to help out. The situation we’ve come across with COVID 19 exclusively invites the collaboration of the youth to step up, lead, and serve the community.
