Bulk production of hand sanitizer is being produced at the Kensington based distillery and is available to the public at local distribution centers including hospitals and other key crisis centers determined by the PA Department of Health.
In the next 7-10 days, New Liberty Distillery has set a goal to put 100,000 bottles of hand sanitizer into the public’s hands.

Social App Helps Make Social Distancing Fun and Charitable
With New Challenge
When there are no sports, you get creative! Sports betting sites had been relying on the NBA, March Madness, and upcoming baseball games, but now have had to pivot quickly to other innovative ideas. Sports betting app, Vig It, is seeing if users can step up to the challenge of social distancing themselves using bragging rights, and charity as their incentive. The “Social Distance Challenge” just went live in the App store!
Daily competitions on the app allows users to participate in the “Social Distance Challenge,” a national challenge pairing two states together to see which will have the lowest percentage of new coronavirus cases for the day.
Users can login to the app and virtually connect with players to predict individual state cases, and help maintain their state’s number of cases by staying inside.
The daily challenge encourages users to take the call to social distance themselves seriously, while also filling the void to interact with one another via the app.
Proceeds from the competition are donated to PACT, a non-profit that finds animals homes for military service members when they’re assigned for deployment.
