Anheuser-Busch and Silver Eagle Beverages have donated one truckload – more than 51,000 cans – of drinking water to local communities in San Antonio. The delivery is in response to requests from the American Red Cross to aid communities impacted by the extreme heat plaguing the area this summer.
“We are committed to serving the people of San Antonio, and we are proud to partner with Anheuser-Busch and the American Red Cross to provide drinking water to those who are in need,” said John L. Nau III, Chairman and CEO of Silver Eagle Beverages.
After arriving to San Antonio on August 4th, Silver Eagle Beverages delivered the drinking water to the Praise Cathedral Church of God who will help distribute to those in need throughout the community.
The water was sourced from Anheuser-Busch’s brewery in Cartersville, Georgia which periodically pauses beer production to can emergency drinking water to be ready to help communities in times of disaster.
Anheuser-Busch has a longstanding tradition of providing emergency drinking water and supplies for disaster relief efforts in partnership with the American Red Cross – dating back to 1906. Since 1988, Anheuser-Busch and their wholesaler partners have provided more than 90 million cans of water to U.S. communities affected by natural disasters and other crises nationwide.
