The Coca-Cola Company, The Coca-Cola Foundation and Local California Bottler Join Together to Support Wildfire Relief

$600,000 Pledged Toward Emergency Relief and Recovery Efforts Throughout California

The Coca-Cola Company, its local bottling partner and The Coca-Cola Foundation have joined together to help the families and communities affected by devastating wildfires across California. The Coca-Cola Foundation today pledged $400,000 and The Coca-Cola Company pledged an additional $100,000 to the American Red Cross to provide emergency food, shelter and comfort to thousands of people who have been forced to evacuate their homes across Northern and Southern California.

“Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by these tragic wildfires, and we send our deepest appreciation to the emergency responders working tirelessly to restore California communities to safety,” said Helen Smith Price, President, The Coca-Cola Foundation.

In addition to donations from The Coca-Cola Company and The Coca-Cola Foundation, the company’s California-based bottling partner, Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling (in partnership with its sister company Great Lakes Coca-Cola Bottling, both owned by Reyes Holdings, L.L.C.), has contributed $50,000 to the American Red Cross and is donating thousands of bottles of water to support local relief efforts. Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling also donated $50,000 to the Coca-Cola Employee Disaster Relief Fund, which directly supports local employees impacted by the wildfires.

“Our Coca-Cola family is deeply affected by the devastation in California, because many of our employees, friends, families and customers call these communities home,” said Bill O’Brien, Chief Executive Officer, Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling. “Our local team will continue to supply beverages and other necessities to first responders, fire fighters and relief organizations, and we are fully committed to helping our employees and neighbors recover in the months ahead.”
