MILO — Anheuser-Busch and Valley Beverage of Oakland joined forces with the National Volunteer Fire Council to deliver more than 2,300 cans of emergency drinking water to the Milo Fire Department as part of the brewer’s larger effort to provide 1.5 million cans to volunteer fire departments across the country.
The continued partnership builds on Anheuser-Busch’s longstanding history of showing up for its communities and demonstrates its deep appreciation for the first responders who help to keep them safe.
DRINKING WATER DONATION — Anheuser-Busch and Valley Beverage of Oakland recently joined forces with the National Volunteer Fire Council to deliver more than 2,300 cans of emergency drinking water to the Milo Fire Department. The water will be used to hydrate first responders and those facing an emergency situation.
Across the country, 65 percent of firefighters — typically the first line of defense in local emergencies — are volunteers, often with limited department budgets for critical supplies. Anheuser-Busch’s water donations allow these departments to free up limited resources for other expenses or equipment needed to keep their force prepared to respond to any emergency or disaster. Produced and canned by Anheuser-Busch breweries, the 1.5 million cans of emergency drinking water will be distributed to over 630 volunteer fire departments across 44 states.
The Milo Fire Department had applied to the council and Anheuser-Busch to receive emergency drinking water and they were granted the water. On Thursday, July 11 Valley Beverage delivered the pallet of Anheuser-Busch emergency drinking water to the Milo Fire Department. The water will be used to hydrate first responders and those facing an emergency situation.
