Anheuser-Busch delivered more than 25,000 cans of emergency drinking water to Florida’s Gulf Coast to support residents and first responders as they recover from flooding and damage caused by Hurricane Isaias.

The donation of emergency drinking water was shipped to Anheuser-Busch wholesaler partner The Lewis Bear Company of Pensacola, Florida, whose team partnered with local officials and disaster response programs to distribute water to local community members.

“The Lewis Bear Company is proud to work with Anheuser-Busch to provide emergency drinking water to affected communities as we recover from Hurricane Isaias,” said Chad Bonner, President of The Lewis Bear Company. “We are deeply grateful for the support and partnership of first responders, local disaster relief programs, and Anheuser-Busch in helping ensure our neighbors have safe, clean drinking water during this critical time.”

The 25,000+ cans of water were sourced from Anheuser-Busch’s brewery in Cartersville, Georgia, which alongside the Fort Collins, Colorado brewery, periodically pauses beer production to can emergency drinking water and help communities in times of disaster.

Anheuser-Busch has a longstanding tradition of providing support for disaster relief efforts. Since the inception of the emergency drinking water program in 1988, Anheuser-Busch and its wholesaler partners have donated more than 100 million cans of clean, safe drinking water to U.S. communities and volunteer fire departments in support of ongoing disaster relief and preparedness efforts.
