VIDEO: As more stories of neighbors helping neighbors come to light across the Omaha metro, a La Vista distillery took a break from making spirits to produce another type of in-demand alcohol -- hand sanitizer.
On Wednesday, Soldier Valley Spirits, a part of Patriarch Distillery, donated their fresh supply to first responders.
"It wasn't really that hard," Jeff Hadden, founder and owner of Patriarch Distillery, said. "It's not rocket science. It's hand sanitizer."
Hadden said he and his small team of distillers in La Vista saw a need took their unused supply of alcohol and put their skills to work, producing a sanitizer he said was 170 proof.
"It's made with glycerin and peroxide, so it will kill the virus, for sure. It's the highest the FDA will allow us to put out," Hadden said.
58 gallons later, Hadden said, the First Responders Foundations connected Soldier Valley with the Omaha Fire Department.
