How Anheuser-Busch is responding to COVID-19: LEARN MORE

Emergency Drinking Water

Purpose Beyond Brewing

Always Ready To Help Neighbors In Times of Need

We help our neighbors in their times of need – when disaster hits our communities, we offer support with our emergency drinking water program.

About our Commitment to Donating Emergency Drinking Water

We have a long-standing commitment to supporting our neighbors during times of need.

Every year, we periodically pause beer production in our Fort Collins, CO, and Cartersville, GA breweries to apply our production and logistics expertise to can clean, safe drinking water that is ready to distribute when disaster strikes.

Since the inception of our emergency drinking water program in 1988, Anheuser-Busch and our wholesaler partners have worked alongside the American Red Cross to provide more than 81 million cans of water to U.S. communities affected by natural disasters and other crises.

This year, we have donated more than 860,000 cans of emergency drinking water to date to support relief efforts including:

  • 160,000 cans of water in the aftermath of tornados in Arkansas and Tennessee
  • 50,000+ cans of water to support Hurricane Hanna relief efforts in Texas
  • 300,000+ cans of water donated to wildfire relief efforts in California and Oregon
  • 250,000+ cans of water delivered to Louisiana and Texas for Hurricane Laura relief
  • 50,000+ cans of water to support relief efforts in Florida following Hurricane Sally
  • 50,000+ cans of water donated to Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricane Delta

Last year, we also teamed up with the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) to provide critical hydration to those who are volunteering to put their lives on the line.

In 2019, we donated 1.6 million cans of water to nearly 300 volunteer fire departments across the country to support the efforts of first responders and we have committed building on this partnership by providing 1.5 million cans in 2020 as fire departments face unprecedented challenges. 

These donations represent our ongoing commitment to help American communities when they need it most.
