Donates Made to Yonkers seniors and also for sale
By Dan Murphy
Last month, we reported on the Nahmias Distillery in Yonkers, and how they were undergoing a transformation from making alcohol to making hand sanitizer. The change in production is now completed and owners David and Dorit Nahmias are selling hand sanitizer and, with support by Yonkers businessman Sid Blauner, bottles will be donated to local nursing homes and to volunteers. Former City Council President Chuck Lesnick invested in the distillery through the Federal Opportunity Zone Program.
The first bottles of hand sanitizer, which come in 16 oz, and a gallon bottles-128 oz., are made pursuant to the World Health Organization standards, and are 80 per cent ethanol. Instead of having to layoff their employees, the Nahmias family and their employees are now working on brewing up hand sanitizer.
They now can be purchased at Stew Leonard’s, or you can visit Nahmias et Fils products web site at www.NahmiasEtFils.com, or by calling (646) 644-42.. Products can be shipped, or pickup at the Distillery can be arranged. Both bottles are reasonably priced, 16 oz for $12.00 and one gallon for $60—for 128 oz.The distillery is located at 1900 Saw Mill River Road in Yonkers, but call first before your arrival.
