LEMONT, Ill. — Englewood Construction, a builder based in the Chicago suburb of Lemont, has donated 100 gallons of hand sanitizer and 100 gallons of surface sanitizer to a senior living client that was experiencing shortages of the critical items across its network of facilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Our ongoing renovation and remodeling projects at senior living communities have paused as operators limit facility access to essential staff, but we have remained in close communication with those clients to make sure we are continuing to be of assistance to them in every way we can,” says Bill Di Santo, president of Englewood Construction. “When one client shared with us that their facilities were not only running low on essentials like hand sanitizer and surface cleaners, but that those supplies also were difficult to obtain through their normal channels, we decided to tap into our own network to see if we could help.”
“In our line of work, it’s a lot of ‘I’ve got a guy…’ to solve whatever issue might be at hand,” added Di Santo. “And that’s exactly what happened — we knew a local source who could supply us with the sanitizers our client needed.”
