As early-summer heat intensifies across Korea, OB Beer is expanding its disaster relief efforts, providing more than 31,000 bottles of eco-friendly bottled water to support vulnerable groups facing heightened risk of heat-related illness.

OB Beer said Wednesday it has delivered OB Water, a disaster relief bottled water product, in partnership with the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association, to help people most exposed to extreme heat.

The company said the water distributed this year comes from a prior donation to Hope Bridge and is being used to prevent heat-related illness and support hydration for people with disabilities and individuals experiencing homelessness.

On June 11, about 8,600 bottles were delivered to the Daegu branch of the Korea Spinal Cord Injury Association.
