We have a long-standing commitment to supporting our neighbors during times of need – dating back to 1906 when Adolphus Busch first supported the relief efforts of the Red Cross.

Today, we continue this commitment by periodically pausing 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 emergency drinking water to U.S. communities affected by natural disasters and other crises.

In 2019, we also teamed up with the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) to support volunteer firefighters battling wildfires across the country and provide critical hydration to those volunteering to put their lives on the line.

To date, we have produced more than 100 million cans of emergency drinking water for communities across the country in support of volunteer fire departments and disaster relief efforts.
