As a part of the Hurricane Helene relief effort, Gold Coast Eagle Distributing teamed up with Anheuser-Busch to deliver 2,084 cases of canned emergency drinking water to communities in Sarasota and Manatee counties. 

This included Longboat Key, where volunteers from the town staff were passing out the cases at the Neighborhood Point of Distribution in the Publix parking lot on Bay Isles Parkway. 

In preparation for Helene, Gold Coast Eagle Distributing asked Anheuser-Busch for the cases of water, which were delivered within hours, according to a press release. 

Longboat Key received 490 cases of the 1,078 cases that were delivered within four hours to other local communities, the press release said.
