Molson Coors Beverage Company (NYSE: TAP; TSX: TPX) is donating approximately 50,000 cans of water to assist Arkansas residents as the state recovers from a series of devastating tornadoes in late March.
“Clean water is an immediate and long-term need in Arkansas as the state continues to grapple with the devastating effects of the recent tornadoes,” said Michael Nordman, senior manager of community affairs for Molson Coors. “We are committed to helping communities across the nation in times of devastation.”
The cans of water were delivered from Molson Coors’ Shenandoah Brewery in Elkton, VA to donation centers in Little Rock, North Little Rock and Sherwood on Friday, April 7. Firefighters, police and other first responders are distributing the water throughout the communities where it is most needed.
Since launching its water donation program in 2017, Molson Coors, in partnership with Broomfield, CO-based Ball Corporation, has provided more than 2 million cans of water to communities affected by disasters. Graphic Packaging International donated the 12-pack cartons in which the cans are packaged.
The water is canned at the Molson Coors brewery in Trenton, OH and stored in its Shenandoah and Golden, CO breweries.
Transportation of the water was provided by trucking company Walker Transportation and the cans were distributed by Glazer’s Beer and Beverage.
In addition to its water donation program, Molson Coors supports key local programs and initiatives that promote strong, thriving communities.
