How Milo’s Tea Company Halted Production Of Their Sweet Tea To Help Bring Water To Texas Flood Victims

I’ve been saying it for years… sweet tea is always there for you in times of need.

Much like the Carolinas were hit hard with flash flooding in September of last year, South-central Texas was ravaged by flash flooding around the 4th of July. Over 130 people have been confirmed deceased, with many of those numbers tragically coming from Camp Mystic – a Christian girls camp located in Texas Hill Country that it is currently grieving the unfathomable loss of 27 campers and counselors.

Ever since the devastating waters rose and caused so much death and destruction, many have wondered how they can help. We’ve seen a number of benefit concerts put together by some of the biggest country music artists in the business, but they aren’t the only ones that have rushed to figure out a way to assist with disaster relief.

Milo’s, a company that makes one heck of a jug of sweet tea, made the tough decision to halt production at their Tulsa, Oklahoma plant days after the disaster struck Texas. Why? Because they wanted to give back to the community that was desperate for help, so Milo’s repurposed their facility to roll out bottled water instead of tea and lemonade.

They were ultimately able to send over 119,000 bottles of water to help assist Texas flood victims and those working with disaster relief, as you can see and hear more about in the video below:
