ANN ARBOR – Kevin Leeser has been active in organizing donations of PPE since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, and now that includes cleaning supplies.
Leeser, who launched Operation Face Shield Ann Arbor, recently donated 500 face shields to the Lakota people in South Dakota who have experienced high case numbers. After they asked for cleaning supplies for their quarantined members, Leeser decided to rally the local community to donate supplies, which he is delivering himself this week.

ANN ARBOR, MI - Kevin Leeser of Ann Arbor dedicated his 2020 to helping protect the community from COVID-19.
Since April, his “Operation Face Shield” initiative produced more than 50,000 face shields to help limit the spread of the disease.
Before the calendar turns to 2021, he is making one last push; this time for a Native American community more than a thousand miles from Ann Arbor. He will ship off tomorrow morning to deliver PPE and cleaning supplies to the Lakota reservations in South Dakota, and he wants to get the word out for last-minute donations.

ANN ARBOR, MI It may still be a parking lot for now, but some residents have big hopes for a future downtown park and civic commons on Ann Arbor’s Library Lot.
To ceremonially mark the start of the future Center of the City park and commons, about a dozen residents came together Thursday afternoon, Dec. 10, to plant and decorate a five-foot holiday tree in a red planter box at the Fifth Avenue site.
“Ready? Watch your fingers!” Kevin Leeser called out as local residents Alan Haber and Tom Stevens helped him rock the bulky tree off the back of his pickup truck into one of city’s landscape planters, which they dug out to make room for the Douglas fir.
