Goodwill Installs 2 Hand-Washing Stations with Help of Boy Scout Anthony Santiago
In an effort to give customers and employees more opportunities to sanitize, Goodwill Industries (lincolngoodwill.org) Serving Southeast Nebraska, Inc. recently installed hand-washing stations in their stores at 6300 Apples Way and 4555 Vine Street. The stations are thanks to local Troop 282 Boy Scout Anthony Santiago, who made their construction his Eagle Scout community-service project. Anthony planned and implanted the build of the stations from start to finish, with most of the materials donated by local businesses, including recycled materials where possible. The stations are located at the front of the stores, giving customers and employees the opportunity to wash their hands without needing to go to the restrooms at the back of the stores.
“We have been thrilled to collaborate with Anthony in these past few months,” said Goodwill Communication Director Anne-Marie Maher. “Not only does this project develop Anthony’s ability to create and lead a large project from start to finish, but it fulfills a need in our Goodwill stores during the COVID-19 crisis. During the installation, Anthony also demonstrated to Goodwill employees how to use the station, including changing the water reservoirs and retracting the foot petal, as well as showing the station’s mobility.”
