Reaction about Terry's Locker

Richmond Public Schools Superintendent, Jason Kamras said:

"So, this is an extension of that work, to make sure our kids and families have clean clothes and are able to feel their best and look their best every single day at school.”

Maymont Preschool principal Dr. Victoria Hampton said:

“This is definitely going to meet the needs of our children just because of the fact that sometimes our kids do come and their clothes may not be clean. And then, we are helping them go through life changes, especially learning how to use those bathrooms by themselves. So when doing that, they do have accidents, even while taking a nap. So, this will definitely be helpful for us."

More Terry's Lockers to come

McLaurin, 28, and UnitedHealthcare currently have plans to open more locations.

UnitedHealthcare Mid-Atlantic Vice President, Marianne Randazzo, said:

“We are still in the planning phases, there is going to be three more. But we are looking at markets across the Mid-Atlantic where we can make the biggest impact.”
