Two outdoor hand sanitizing stations have been placed in high-traffic areas along Main Street Courtesy
The city of Zeeland has two outdoor hand sanitizing stations, thanks to the generosity of the local Rotary Club.
The Rotary Club of Zeeland made the gift as a public health initiative and a way to show their support of the community’s efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The city adds that the hand cleaning stations will be valuable for several years, providing easy access to hygiene.
The Rotary Club worked with the city’s Shopping Area Redevelopment Board to design and select placement for the new customized-design stations.
“It is a privilege when local service organizations, such as Rotary, approach the city with partnership ideas. Together we can accomplish so much more,” says City Marketing Director Abby deRoo.
Currently, the stations are located at high-traffic locations along the sidewalks of Main Street, in the center block of downtown, between Elm and Church streets. However, the stations are portable and can be moved as needed to accommodate demand or special events.
The Rotary Club provided the gift of the stations and an initial supply of sanitizer. The city will maintain the stations and will take responsibility for refill supplies.
“These sanitizing stations will be a great addition to downtown Zeeland, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect as more and more people are returning to their regular routines and visiting downtown,” deRoo says.
