JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — St. Louis-based brewer Anheuser-Busch is stepping up to help keep poll workers safe this November. It is producing and donating more than eight million ounces of hand sanitizer to polls across the nation for the General Election.

“We truly appreciate Anheuser-Busch for their willingness to produce and donate hand sanitizer to state and local election officials as they work on the frontlines of democracy in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic,” said Maggie Toulouse Oliver, President of National Association of Secretary.
