A team of 12 New Jersey American Water employees, along with staff from the American Red Cross, delivered 6,000 bottles of water – the first of two instalments – to the Army post on 21 August.
Each bottle sports a custom label declaring ‘Welcome Home Heroes’. In the coming weeks, the company will deliver another 6,000 bottles of water to Fort Dix. The bottles will be distributed by the Red Cross to returning troops, along with a snacks and supplies donated by several other organisations.
“We’re very grateful for the donations made by the New Jersey American Water Company,” said Joan Brown, Red Cross volunteer coordinator. “With the temperatures continuing to climb, I’m sure the soldiers will be able to use as much water as we can get them.”
New Jersey American Water, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Water, is the largest investor-owned water utility in the state, providing high-quality and reliable water and/or wastewater services to approximately 2.5 million people.
