"These unprecedented times called for us to give back to our communities more than ever, and we made it a top priority," said Scott Miller, CEO, Essentia Water. "While I'm proud of our actions in 2020 during a very challenging year, we know there's no finish line whether we are talking about Diversity and Inclusion or giving back to our communities in need. As an organization, we must challenge ourselves to make a difference each day."

Essentia has already begun its next wave of COVID-19 relief for 2021 through product and monetary donations. Some 23 truckloads, nearly 400,000 bottles of Essentia water will be distributed to in-need hospitals and first responders across the country with a similar, second wave effort planned for April.

At Essentia's home base of Seattle, the company is continuing to lend its humanitarian support through events like local Seattle-Based Chef and Two-Time James Beard Award Winner Edouardo Jordan's Soul of Seattle www.theseattlesoul.com. The event's mission is to highlight and celebrate Black chefs/restauranteurs and support the black community of Seattle and is in collaboration with Northwest Harvest (WA State's leading hunger relief agency).
