MillerCoors is donating 50,000 cans of water to residents and first responders impacted by tornadoes and severe storms in the Dayton, Ohio area.
In partnership with Ball Corp., the water cans will be distributed to residents in need through the Dayton Foodbank.
A boil-water advisory was issued after the city’s pumping stations lost power, and Dayton Power & Light said 64,000 customers were still without electricity.
The city of Dayton has asked residents to conserve water and several employees from the MillerCoors Trenton Brewery, down Interstate 75, have volunteered to help distribute the water.
“In the face of devastation, we’re doing our part to supply Miami Valley, Ohio, tornado victims and first responders with essential clean water,” said Tami Garrison, community affairs manager at MillerCoors. “Through the donation of the water cans, we aim to provide comfort and relief to help the community in their time of need.”
The water cans will be shipped from the MillerCoors brewery in Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, and are expected to arrive by Friday at the foodbank in Dayton, Ohio.
