Ampro Industries, Inc. Donates Over 6,300 Gallons of Hand Sanitizer to Shelby County School System

MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- On Thursday, March 4, 2021, in efforts to assist in a safe back-to-school transition, Ampro Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of hair, skin, and personal care products for the multicultural consumer, donated over 6,300 gallons of hand sanitizer manufactured by the company to the Shelby County School System's "Return Stronger" school drive.

Working to do their part to ensure kids, teachers, staff, and administrators are safe, each gallon Ampro donated represents one gallon of Ampro hand sanitizer that will be placed in each classroom in the Shelby County School District. The effort was coordinated by company president Jack Sammons in response to the district's reopening after closing amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Ampro is delighted to donate 4 truckloads of Ampro Hand Sanitizer to Shelby County Schools. Ampro products are made right here in Memphis at our factory in Frayser. We are honored to partner with Superintendent Joris Ray and all our teachers as we enthusiastically welcome our students back to their school classrooms." says President Jack Sammons.

At the start of the pandemic in early 2020, Ampro switched from making America's fastest selling protein styling gels to making hand sanitizers to help support the community and essential workers. Following the school supply drive, Superintendent of Shelby County Schools Dr. Joris M. Ray tweeted, "Our partners in education showed up big today for our students at our #ReturnStronger supply drive. [Their] support empowers students all across our county."

One of Ampro Industries, Inc., core responsibilities is to their community. The Ampro team works to participate in the promotion of civic improvement, health, education and good government.
