The True Value kits include hand sanitizer, germicidal cleaner, spray bottles, and painters’ tape to mark social distancing. Davis noted the ten pallets of material are valued at approximately $4,500.

“I want to say a heartfelt thank you extended to Jeff Davis, Joey Cothren (owner), and the True Value employees for all they continue to do to support our school system,” said Dr. Jennifer Hefner, Alexander County Schools Superintendent.

“We’re pleased to be able to help the community and the schools to win this grant,” Davis commented.

He added this is the third time the school system has obtained a True Value Foundation grant for protective equipment.
