If there's one silver lining of these difficult times, it's stories of people and organizations banding together for the greater good.
Like these two South Florida companies that have teamed up to respond to the rapidly evolving and increased sanitation needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Toast Distillers, Inc., a Miami spirits conglomerate known for its Toast vodka, is partnering with Veritas Farms, Inc., a Fort Lauderdale agribusiness producing CBD products, to address the increased need for hand sanitizer throughout the country.
The Miami Distilling Company, a subsidiary of Toast Distillers, will produce varying sizes and dispensers of hand sanitizer in Miami. The sanitizer contains 70 percent isopropyl alcohol, aloe vera and vitamin E.
Then, Veritas Farms will utilize its national distribution network of more than 6,000 retail stores and its rapidly growing online presence to distribute the hand sanitizer.
Toast Distillers has been adept in responding ― with production and shipment ― to the demand for hand sanitizer both locally in South Florida and nationwide since the early stages of the pandemic, providing to various sectors, including the military, government and traditional retail.
The hand sanitizer will be available online on May 18 at TheVeritasFarms.com/Shop.
