BLACKSBURG, Va. — Cutter Insect Repellents is making hand sanitizer to support employees and organizations across the Spectrum Brands network during the coronavirus pandemic.
Hand sanitizer has been supplied to all 15 Spectrum Brands facilities and offices across the U.S. to promote the safety of its employees, according to a press release.
Cutter is also donating hand sanitizer to local organizations across the communities in which Spectrum Brands has operations.

The St. Louis Area Foodbank is among the first organizations to receive Cutter hand sanitizer donations. The foodbank will distribute the donated sanitizers to its network and use them within its facility, according to the release.
“We are so grateful for our ongoing partnership with Cutter brand and for this donation of hand sanitizers,” said Meredith Knopp, president of St. Louis Area Foodbank. “Proper sanitation is critical for us to continue serving those in need in the St. Louis community.
