Molson Coors Beverage Co. has donated 154,000 cans of fresh drinking water to truck drivers across the United States and Canada to help keep them safe by limiting the number of stops they need to make for supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The company last week delivered 50,000 cans to the national trucking company, Werner Enterprises, for it to distribute across its national fleet from terminals in Florida, Georgia and Texas.
Molson Coors is also sending 104,000 cans to its breweries in Albany, Ga., Elkton, Va., Fort Worth, Texas, Golden, Colo., Milwaukee, Montreal and Toronto where they’ll be given to drivers from more than 100 trucking companies who arrive for pickups.
“Truck drivers are the unsung heroes keeping America nourished and our supply chains moving during a time of great need,” says Michael Nordman, Molson Coors’ community affairs director. “While many around the country are sheltering in place, truck drivers are working long hours away from their families to keep our stores and pantries stocked.”
