The Impact of LeadCare Complete
LeadCare Complete has helped support a safe and healthy learning environment for licensed Chicago child care providers by providing free plumbing upgrades to reduce lead in drinking water.
Over the past four years, LeadCare Complete has worked with more than 200 child care providers to ensure safer drinking water by replacing faucets, water fountains, and other plumbing components. Now, more than 3,000 children have access to safer water because of this transformative program.
