Pepsi MidAmerica Donates Supplies to Tornado Victims and Emergency Responders in Butler County, Missouri
Pepsi MidAmerica, with 11 depots across five states, has provided crucial assistance to the victims and emergency responders impacted by the EF-3 tornado that tore through Butler County on the evening of March 14, 2025. The tornado caused widespread devastation, including the destruction of multiple homes at a mobile home park in Poplar Bluff, resulting in one fatality and several injuries.
In response to the disaster, Pepsi MidAmerica’s Area Vice President and Divisional General Manager for Missouri and Arkansas, Justin Vetter, alongside Area Manager of Poplar Bluff, Justin Campbell, led efforts to donate supplies to local shelters and emergency response teams. A total of 20 cases of water and 5 cases of Pepsi were delivered to a shelter, where the number of people seeking refuge was fewer than expected. Additionally, a pallet of water and 10 cases of soda were provided to Ozark Border Electric Cooperative to assist emergency responders working to restore power and aid in recovery efforts.
Pepsi MidAmerica remains committed to supporting the community during times of crisis, and will continue to monitor the situation as recovery efforts progress.
