Anheuser-Busch Delivering Additional 200,000 Cans Of Emergency Drinking Water To Support Flood Relief Efforts In California

From Anheuser-Busch:

April 20, 2023 – At the request of the American Red Cross, Anheuser-Busch has delivered an additional 200,000 cans of emergency drinking water to support local communities in California as they recover from widespread flooding caused by severe storms. Since January, Anheuser-Busch has mobilized six truckloads of emergency drinking water to its wholesalers in three areas in California following severe storms, including Antioch, Fresno and Alameda. Alongside the American Red Cross, Anheuser-Busch and its wholesalers are working to quickly distribute resources to those in need.  zzubreebym

The latest donations of emergency drinking water were delivered to Anheuser-Busch wholesaler partners, Donaghy Sales LLC in Fresno, CA and Markstein Beverage Co. in Alameda, CA, bringing the brewer’s total contribution to California flood relief efforts this year to more than 310,000 cans of clean, safe drinking water.

The water is sourced from the Anheuser-Busch brewery in Fort Collins, Colorado, which alongside the Cartersville, Georgia brewery periodically pauses beer production throughout the year to can emergency drinking water and help communities in times of disaster in partnership with the American Red Cross.

“Our thoughts are with our entire community impacted by the latest storm and flooding,” said Travis Moore, General Manager of the Anheuser-Busch Fairfield Brewery. “As relief efforts continue across the state, our team in Fairfield is proud that Anheuser-Busch is able to leverage our production, distribution, and partnership capabilities to provide this critical donation to our families, friends and neighbors.”

Anheuser-Busch has a longstanding tradition of providing support for disaster relief efforts in partnership with the American Red Cross, dating back to 1906. Since the inception of the emergency drinking water program in 1988, Anheuser-Busch and its wholesaler partners have provided more than 90 million cans of water to U.S. communities affected by natural disasters and other crises.

In 2022, Anheuser-Busch donated more than 3 million cans of emergency drinking water to communities and volunteer fire departments across 49 states in support of ongoing relief efforts.
