Anheuser-Busch, through Marianas Pacific Distributors, donated over 4,700 cans of drinking water and 1,000 disposable face masks to Empty Vessel Ministry Foundation of Saipan last Thursday, July 16, 2020.
“Thanks to Anheuser-Busch and their #ONETEAM approach, we are able to reach those in the community that need these supplies the most and by partnering with Empty Vessel we will be able to accomplish that task,” said Marpac resident manager Guy Pudney.
Rosalyn Ajoste, president of Empty Vessel Ministry Foundation, said, “Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, EVM has been able to serve over 5,000 individuals in our community. We are still in need of donations. Thanks to local businesses and organizations, such as Marpac, we hope to continue serving the CNMI community for years to come.”
Empty Vessel Ministry Foundation is a non-profit, faith-based organization that relies on donations to carry out its commitment to meet the needs of the socioeconomically disadvantaged in the community.
