American Spraytech, a New Jersey-based contract manufacturer of consumer aerosol products, has joined forces with Backpacks for Life, a local charity devoted to helping homeless vets, by donating personal care items for distribution. Items include body sprays, sunscreens and anti-itch sprays. The products will be included in new backpacks distributed to homeless U.S. veterans of all foreign wars.
Allen S. Lalwani, President of American Spraytech, expressed his pleasure, stating, “We feel privileged to be given the opportunity to be of service to American war veterans. This is particularly gratifying to American Spraytech because we strongly support the ‘Made in America’ brand, and this partnership is yet another little way to serve our great country and our American heroes.”
