Front Porch Distillery In Nac Is Making Free Hand Sanitizer

We've heard a lot of stories over the past couple of weeks of people not being able to get items from the stores. I'm talking about toilet paper, soap, food items, and - a rather big one - hand sanitizer. We've also heard stories of major distilleries in other states modifying their process of work to produce hand sanitizer (apparently, the process of making liquor and making hand sanitizer is somewhat similar, so it's not super difficult to make that switch - that's all I've heard, I'm no expert, so don't quote me on this).

So, here's where these two stories go hand-in-hand.

Front Porch Distillery, just outside of Nacogdoches, made the announcement via Facebook that beginning today, they are handing out free hand sanitizer there at the distillery. That location is 7905 S US HWY 59, Nacogdoches, TX. This was the information from the post on Friday:

And, on Sunday, there was an update posted, also via Facebook. This was the update:

This is a really cool story, right here in Deep East Texas, of our neighbors helping each other out in a difficult time. Well done, Front Porch Distillery!
