Keurig Dr Pepper Expands North American Partnership with the Red Cross
BURLINGTON, Mass. and FRISCO, Texas, March 31, 2026 – Keurig Dr Pepper (NASDAQ: KDP) today announced the renewal and expansion of its North American partnership with the Red Cross, extending its existing collaboration in the United States and Canada through 2026. Building on three years of impact, the partnership reinforces KDP’s commitment to disaster response, food security and community health and resilience, while continuing to engage employees in meaningful, local action.
In 2026, Keurig Dr Pepper will invest a combined $450,000 across its Red Cross partnerships in North America, advancing a more unified and strategic platform that connects large-scale emergency response with targeted, community-level initiatives. In the United States, this includes sustained support for national disaster response efforts alongside a new place-based focus on strengthening disaster resilience in a vulnerable community in Texas. In Canada, the partnership continues to anchor its impact in food security while expanding its scope to include dedicated disaster relief support, with the addition of a Montréal pilot providing emergency winter shelter for at-risk populations.
“As communities face increasingly complex and interconnected challenges, the importance of strong, trusted partnerships has never been greater,” said Monique Oxender, Chief Corporate Affairs & Sustainability Officer at Keurig Dr Pepper. “Our work with the Red Cross reflects a focused and disciplined approach to community investment. It enables us to align national capabilities with local priorities, mobilizing our people to help strengthen community resilience across North America.”
“The American Red Cross responds to emergencies in every community in the U.S., which means our work before, during and after disasters is never finished,” said Jennifer Pipa, Vice President of Disaster Programs for the American Red Cross. “We are thankful to Keurig Dr Pepper for their year-round support as a Disaster Responder Program member. As disasters continue to increase in frequency and intensity, this forward-thinking commitment enables us to grow our capacity to help people that are impacted by the climate crisis.”
United States: Sustaining Nationwide Disaster Response and Adding Local Resilience Building Program
In 2026, KDP will continue its support of the American Red Cross National Partner Disaster Relief Program, enabling rapid response to disasters across the country. In addition, KDP is expanding its partnership to include a targeted investment in the Red Cross Community Adaptation Program (CAP) in Cameron County, Texas.
CAP is a place-based disaster resilience program designed to help communities prepare for, withstand and recover from disasters before they occur by strengthening the capacity of local organizations already embedded in the community. Through this partnership, the Red Cross will further efforts to build long-term resilience in Cameron County by supporting local partners working on health access, food security and safe housing.
Canada: Continuing Food Security and Introducing New Community Health Initiatives
The 2026 renewed partnership continues to be rooted in addressing food security, supporting programs like the Mobile Food Bank and Meals on Wheels that reach individuals who are often underserved by traditional food systems, including seniors and those facing health or mobility challenges.
It also introduces support for a city-led pilot in Montréal, expanding access to 150 temporary warming spaces to help people in vulnerable situations have safe, low-barrier environments during periods of extreme cold.
Across both countries, employee engagement will remain a core pillar of the partnership. KDP will continue to facilitate initiatives such as blood drives, fundraising efforts, volunteer opportunities and awareness campaigns designed to mobilize employees, leaders and brands in support of families and communities in need.
