Steadfast Spirits Distilling Company is making sanitizer thanks to member CJ Lundergan. Please see below a message from them:

In unprecedented times like we are seeing it’s now more than ever we all need to get a little creative to continue to protect our communities as well as ourselves.  With the current shortage of hand sanitizers, we (like many NH distilleries) have swapped over from making spirits to sanitizer.  Given this, we wanted to offer departments the opportunity to purchase some sanitizer at our cost.  Please see below for the general information:
- 4oz personal bottles: suggested donation of $3.00 each – max. qty is 1 per dept. staff member
- 32oz refill bottles: suggested donation of $18.00 each – max. qty is 4 per dept (1 gallon)
- To order, please email CJ (Windham FF) at charles@steadfastspirits.com and include your agency and sanitizer in the subject
- Departments will be asked to pick up at the distillery in Concord (134 Hall Street, Unit H) or contact us directly and we can try to facilitate other arrangements.
We fully acknowledge that we have a limited quantity available but are hoping to offer these bulk orders first to our local brotherhood. If demand outweighs our current production capacity, we will work to find more ways to fulfill the needs. Thank you for all you are doing and please stay safe.
