The Lowe’s Distribution Center in Cheyenne has donated a massive trove of disinfecting wipes to aid Wyoming communities in the COVID-19 response.
The company provided 56 pallets of wipes — valued at nearly $135,000 — in an effort to get these needed supplies in the hands of communities. Lowe’s contacted the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security (WOHS) to initiate the donation.
“Wyoming has a strong sense of community. This donation from Lowe’s is a wonderful example of the western spirit that exists in our state,” Wyoming Office of Homeland Security Director Lynn Budd said. “These community partnerships are critical in helping us serve Wyoming’s residents and we couldn’t be more thankful for Lowe’s generosity.”
Todd Nalder, Lowe’s Operations Supervisor, said this is part of their effort to give back to the community and residents statewide.
“The distribution of these disinfecting wipes to organizations desperately in need of them will greatly impact the reduction of the spread of COVID-19,” Nadler said. “We appreciate the opportunity to work with this office and look forward to a continued partnership for years to come.”
About 40 pallets had been allocated statewide as of late October. Lowe’s also provided disinfecting wipes to the Wyoming Department of Corrections.
