Committed community partner

California fires (2007)
• Working with the American Red Cross, Federal Emergency Management Agency and other organizations, NWNA donated over 1 million bottles of Arrowhead spring water.
• We coordinated, through our retail partners, the movement of 3 million bottles to rescue workers, evacuees and residents affected by the Southern California wildfires.

“The American Red Cross is very grateful for the generous donations that Nestlé is making in support of our Southern California wildfires relief efforts. Access to safe, clean drinking water and food products is essential during natural disasters. We applaud the company’s longstanding, continuous support and fast  response in times of need.”
– Kathleen Loehr, Interim Sr. VP of Development, American Red Cross

“Million bottle reserve”

AmeriCares (2006)
NWNA donated 1 million bottles of water to AmeriCares in advance of the 2006 hurricane season to allow bottled water staging in areas that may be in need of disaster assistance.

Hurricane Katrina (2005)

Center of relief

Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne (2004)
• NWNA Florida bottling facilities suffered through hurricanes Frances and Jeanne in 2004 and then became central to the relief efforts as hundreds of thousands of residents were suddenly without drinking water.
• NWNA provided more than 700,000 bottles of water to relief agencies for distribution.
• NWNA employees, dealing with their own hardships due to the storms, continued to keep needed water supply going to customers and consumers.
