Bomgaars Donates Cleaning Supplies to South Elementary

When children are young, most parents encourage them to diligently wash their hands. It is an effort to keep the children from getting sick, and from spreading any illnesses they might have to other children.

The practice has become even more important with the introduction of COVID in society. Medical officials have said personal cleanliness is one of the easiest ways to stop the spread of the virus.

Bomgaars and True Value partnered for their Educational Heroes program.

The program provides health and safety kits for nominated schools.

Store Manager Shaun Inzer said Dec. 1 he contacted South Elementary administration about having school nominated to receive kits. The program is providing 550 kits nationwide at a value of about $700 per kit. The kits are awarded on a first time, first served. The kits contain hand sanitizer, germicidal cleanser, hand soap, dispensers and spray bottles.
