Leeann Puckett with GE's Peebles test operation facility, accepted a donation of hand sanitizer and other PPE from Jason Vesey in the spring. GE returned the favor recently.
The Pickaway-Ross community has been on the giving and receiving end of kindness and generosity since the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
In May, Leeann Puckett, Materials Planning & Execution manager with GE’s Peebles test operation facility, contacted Jason Vesey. Leanne and Jason knew each other from Jason’s former role as director at the Ohio Valley CTC.
“When the pandemic began, Leeann reached out to me seeking hand sanitizer, gloves, masks and other PPE that were in short supply in March and April. Pickaway-Ross had already shut down for the year and with GE being among the first to reach out in need, we were happy to donate, as it was deemed an essential business in the transportation/military industry,” Jason said.
Leeann appreciated the donations from Pickaway-Ross.
“When I reached out, Jason did not hesitate for a second to help support our need with the supplies that they had.”
Months later, in November, GE returned the favor, donating 50 tubs of sanitizing wipes to the school.
“The first opportunity we had to give back, we gave Jason a call,” Leeann said.
