Anheuser-Busch, which last week said it was sending two truckloads of canned drinking water to help with Hurricane Ida relief, Friday (9/3) said it was sending more than five additional truckloads to its wholesaler partners Buquet Distribution Co. Inc. (Houma, LA), Mockler Beverage Co. Inc. (Baton Rouge, LA), and Schilling Distributing Co. (Lafayette, LA) who will work alongside the American Red Cross to distribute the resources to those in need.
The clean, safe drinking water was produced at Anheuser-Busch’s Cartersville, Ga., and Fort Collins, Colo., breweries which periodically pause beer production throughout the year to can emergency drinking water to help communities in times of disaster.
