On July 4th, Kerr County, Texas, was devastated by a catastrophic weather event as months’ worth of rainfall fell in just four hours. Communities from Houston to Dallas also faced record rainfall, overwhelming local emergency systems and placing immense strain on frontline responders. For evacuees with limited resources, and first responders working long hours in grueling conditions, maintaining hydration became a critical challenge.

To help meet this urgent need, The Salvation Army TX, Operation BBQ Relief, and Global Empowerment Mission mobilized quickly to provide emergency relief. As part of their disaster response efforts, these organizations distributed DripDrop electrolyte powder alongside much-needed necessities like clothing, food, and water, to shelters, response teams, and communities impacted by the floods.

Firefighters face extreme conditions on the job—scorching heat, heavy protective gear, and extended response times all put them at high risk for dehydration, which can compromise both safety and performance. Staying hydrated is essential not only for their well-being but also for ensuring they can continue protecting the communities that depend on them.

That’s why DripDrop is honored to continue our partnership with the National Volunteer Fire Council for the sixth year in a row. In 2025, we provided 400,000 servings of DripDrop to 1,000 volunteer fire departments nationwide, helping equip firefighters with the hydration they need to perform at their peak. We’re grateful for the trust these departments place in our product and proud to play a part in supporting the everyday heroes who put themselves on the line to keep communities safe.

As the war in Ukraine continues, countless families face the daily challenges of displacement, uncertainty, and survival. Refugees who have fled their homes, as well as those who remain in conflict zones, endure harsh conditions with limited access to basic necessities like food, clean water, and medical care.

DripDrop’s impact partner, Global Empowerment Mission, has been working hard to support those impacted by the war in Ukraine since 2022. GEM BStrong has provided significant relief aid to over 980 cities, towns, and villages across Ukraine. As part of their relief efforts, they have included DripDrop electrolyte sticks in their necessity kits that are distributed across the country. DripDrop is grateful to GEM for their ongoing support, as well as to our customers whose purchases help to generate these meaningful donations.

Operation BBQ Relief is a nonprofit organization that provides hot, nutritious meals to communities affected by natural disasters and other crises. By mobilizing volunteers and deploying large-scale barbecue operations, they deliver comfort food and emotional support to survivors, first responders, and relief workers during times of need. 

DripDrop is proud to support Operation BBQ Relief’s mission across the U.S. by contributing our electrolyte packets, ensuring that both volunteers and disaster-affected individuals receive fast, effective hydration alongside a comforting, hot meal. In high-stress environments where access to clean water and proper nutrition can be limited, our partnership helps enhance recovery by addressing critical hydration needs during relief efforts.

Tom’s Palms, a 501c3 Nonprofit corporation is on a mission to feed, clothe, and empower the unsheltered community in Arizona, especially during the summer months when extreme heat can become unbearable for those without shelter and resources. 

DripDrop was able to support Tom’s Palms efforts this summer with a donation of 20,000 servings. Our electrolyte packs will be passed out to those in need alongside cold bottled water to help provide fast, effective hydration during the sweltering Arizona summer days.

Across Texas, the Southwest, and Intermountain regions, The Salvation Army is on the front lines, responding to extreme heat and disaster relief needs.

DripDrop plays a vital role in these situations, providing essential hydration to both volunteers and those receiving aid. To support these critical efforts, DripDrop has supplied over 530,000 servings across the three divisions this summer.

As hurricane season nears, it is essential for communities to take proactive measures to ensure they have the necessary supplies and resources to remain safe should disaster occur. Disaster can strike without warning and preparation is not just important—it’s imperative.

On June 7th, Global Empowerment Mission collaborated with Farm Share across 9 different locations throughout Florida, distributing truck loads of food, water, and over 6,000 GEM Family Necessity Hurricane Preparedness Kits which include packets of DripDrop electrolytes. This community support was targeted for those facing food insecurity & in low income neighbourhoods, all with the goal of getting families ready for the upcoming hurricane season.

In early January, devastating wildfires swept across the Los Angeles area, displacing families, threatening communities, and placing immense pressure on emergency response teams and frontline workers. As California entered another season of extreme weather, hydration and rapid relief became urgent needs.

In collaboration with Global Empowerment Mission, Operation BBQ Relief, the USO, California fire departments, and several community partners, we sent over 330,000 servings of DripDrop to support evacuees, first responders, and firefighters. These donations helped provide fast hydration to firefighters in extreme heat conditions, supported medical response teams, and powered community support initiatives such as the FIGS “Here for LA” drive and Jimmy Kimmel Live's community distributions.

Millions of American families continue to face food insecurity and systemic poverty. Organizations like Feed the Children are working nationwide to fill the gap, but nutritional support—especially access to safe hydration—remains a critical component of relief.

This quarter, we continued our partnership with Feed the Children to donate 160,000 servings of DripDrop as part of their family food boxes and relief efforts. These boxes are delivered to communities facing hunger, ensuring that each family receives not only food but also essential hydration to stay healthy. We're proud to support Feed the Children’s ongoing impact across the country.

Families facing hardship often lack access to basic health and wellness resources—including hydration. Local initiatives like The Store in Nashville fill that gap by providing free groceries and essentials to those in need.

In January, we restocked The Store Nashville with over 2,100 servings of DripDrop. This donation ensured that the families they serve have access to medically-formulated hydration—especially important for children, seniors, and those with chronic health needs.
