As recovery efforts continue in California after wildfires there, Essity, a global hygiene and health company with manufacturing operations in Bowling Green, donated 10,000 cleaning wipes to support families in the Santa Rosa region.

Working in conjunction with the Red Cross, Essity delivered the wipes from its production facilities in Bowling Green to Sacramento, where Red Cross volunteers included them in their “comfort kits” distributed to families who are beginning the long process of returning to their homes and cleaning up after the fires.

Essity develops, produces and sells personal care (baby care, feminine care, incontinence products and medical solutions), consumer tissue and professional hygiene products.

Essity, formerly SCA, has about 48,000 employees.
