Sunscreen Dispensers Coming to Fairhaven

The town’s Board of Health has collaborated with IMPACT Melanoma and the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention to practice safe skin on National “Don’t Fry Day” on Friday.

In response to sun safety awareness, the Fairhaven Employee Wellness Committee has also jumped onboard, as they have partnered with the Health Department to obtain dispensers for public use, taking the active pledge of practicing safe skin, according to a news release.

As part of the Practice Safe Skin program, these specially designed dispensers offer sunscreen as an effective preventive measure to help avoid sun over-exposure year round. Each sunscreen dispenser is equipped with four 1,000 mL pouches of hypoallergenic broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen, which is safe for people age 6 months and older.

Be on the lookout for a dispenser at any of these locations: Fort Phoenix, Pope Beach, Seaview Avenue, Causeway Road, West Island Town Beach, Pease Boat Ramp, Livesey Park, Cushman Park, Macomber Pimental Field, the start and end points of the Fairhaven Bike Path, Fairhaven Recreation Center and the Fairhaven Department of Public Works building located at 5 Arsene St.
