More than 4,000 cases of canned water are already en route to Anheuser-Busch distributors and will be available to American RedCross and other local disaster relief organisations.
Peter Kraemer, vice president of supply for Anheuser-Busch, said: “Relief workers and people in the region are in need of safe, clean drinking water, and Anheuser-Busch is in a unique position to produce and ship large quantities of emergency drinking water.
“Our local distributors help identify those communities most in need, and work with relief organisations such as the American Red Cross to make sure the water gets where it’s needed.”
The Anheuser-Busch Foundation also announced a $100,000 donation to the American Red Cross to assist in on-the-ground support for disaster relief workers and victims of Hurricane Sandy.
