Tallahassee, FL) Anheuser-Busch and local beverage wholesaler, Tri-Eagle Sales, provide over 100,000 emergency drinking water cans to local communities in the surrounding Big Bend area to aid recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene. The delivery is in response to requests from the local American Red Cross to aid communities impacted by the recent hurricane.
Hurricane Helene, a category 4 storm, struck North Florida last week, leading to extensive flooding, power disruptions, and property destruction in the Big Bend area. This donation of emergency drinking water will supply local area residents and first responders with safe, clean drinking water to aid ongoing recovery efforts.
In the past few years, nearly a million cases of water have been donated to the North and North Central Florida area in response to disasters. This past August, Tri-Eagle Sales delivered over 50,000 cans in disaster relief efforts supporting Hurricane Debby.
“In the wake of Hurricane Helene, we stand united with our communities in their time of need. As a distributor spanning to 16 counties, we are committed to supporting our retailers and neighbors. Partnering with Anheuser-Busch and the American Red Cross, we are proud to provide Emergency Drinking Water to those impacted by this disaster. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and ensure that essential resources reach those in need. Our unwavering dedication to service drives us to stand ready and deliver aid when it matters most,” says Tripp Transou IV, Vice President of Business Development for Tri-Eagle Sales.
