Venetia and John Sharpe, of Southern Essence Distilling, donated 100 bottles of hand sanitizer to the West Columbia Police Department and the Police and the West Columbia Fire Department.

Hand sanitizer is difficult to find during the coronavirus crisis.

Southern Essence is in need of more hydrogen peroxide to continue making hand sanitizer, so if anyone would like to donate some to them, they are at 904 Frink Street, Cayce.
