All natural cleaning supplies to aid in clean-up and recovery efforts
Winona, Minn., (Jan. 28, 2010) — J.R. Watkins Naturals has donated more than $80,000 in product — including all-purpose cleaner, dish soap, laundry detergent and hand soap — to aid the Haitian earthquake clean-up and recovery efforts.
The company has partnered with the University of Miami's Global Institute for Community Health and Development, which has a clinic in Haiti and was able to coordinate the delivery of these and other donations.
"Conditions following the recent earthquake are difficult to imagine," J.R. Watkins President Mark Jacobs said. "We saw an opportunity to offer some comfort to the Haitian people by providing them with basic, day-to-day cleaning necessities."
J. R. Watkins has a tradition of providing support to those in need following natural disasters. In 2007, the company donated similar supplies to the residents of Rushford, Minn., after flooding in the region.
