Tito’s Homemade Vodka’s hand cleanser

THATCHER – The Thatcher Police Department recently partnered with Tito’s Handmade Vodka Company out of Austin Texas to distribute 144 gallons of hand cleanser to local businesses, clinics, health care providers, public safety organizations, school districts, and public offices throughout Graham and Greenlee counties.

“The Thatcher Police Department received the hand cleanser as a donation from Tito’s and we distributed it,” said Thatcher Police Chief Shaffen Woods. “It was a combined effort to contribute to public health during this COVID-19 pandemic in Graham and Greenlee counties. We are very thankful to everyone at Tito’s who helped make this happen for our area. We know how difficult it has been to get hand cleanser or sanitizer locally and this was a great opportunity to share a little with our community.”
