Steven Ison, founder and owner of Rebecca Creek Distillery, said it’s a way to bring “good spirits” to those in quarantine, while also supporting the elderly and Texas musicians.
“Now, more than ever, Meals on Wheels needs our support to continue to take care of our elderly neighbors and those in need,” he said.
Rebecca Creek is among the local distilleries that have switched their focus from making alcohol to creating hand sanitizer.
The company has donated more than 1,400 gallons of its “Love, Distilled” hand sanitizer to first responders and essential employees in San Antonio, Austin, Corpus Christi and other Texas cities.
