Caribbean Tires Donates 100+ Cases of Hand Sanitizer
One local company has been working to keep the COVID-19 at bay while spreading some goodwill. Caribbean Tires is giving away over one hundred cases of hand sanitizers to frontline personnel and other essential service providers. Today, we here at Great Belize Productions received a box from the kind folks at Caribbean Tires. A few other recipients include the Belize Bus Association; the K.H.M.H. and the police. Marketing Coordinator Judy Perez says that the company imported a stock but secured a sizeable quantity to help out. Perez tells us more.

“We are a company that always thinks about safety. Safety is our number one priority and during this time of the COVID-19, we as a company have been looking on the whole country and how we can assist. When the shortage of the hand sanitizers came up, we decided to bring in some from one of our suppliers. They were more than happy to hear that Belize didn’t have and they shipped us some. When we got them, we decided as a company that we didn’t want to sell all these hand sanitizers and we want to give back to the country on whole, to all of the frontline people who are there to make the country move forward and assist the people. So, we have been giving them away to the police department, the Karl Heusner, the Children Homes and the media and everyone putting their life out there for us. So, this is very important for us.”

“Approximately, how many bottles have you given away?”

“We have been doing this country-wide, so it is maybe over a hundred or more cases that we have given away. I would like to encourage any other company – because we are feeling it as well and we don’t have the business that we used to have – but we still want to do this to give back. So, I want to encourage any other business that can do it to give back because at the end of the day this is for all of us. It is not just us as Caribbean Tires with staff and board of directors and what-not; it is for each and every one of us.”
Caribbean Tires says that they will be open during the State of Emergency to service vehicles, but want to remind the public that they are adhering to all the preventative protocols set out by the Ministry of Health.
