Chevron Commits $250,000 to Hurricane Helene Relief and Recovery Efforts

By: via Business Wire

Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) today announced a donation of $250,000 to support immediate relief and recovery efforts after Hurricane Helene devastated parts of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee, causing catastrophic flooding and damage. The funds will provide support for emergency team and volunteer efforts.

"This destructive hurricane has affected our neighbors far and wide, and our hearts go out to them," said Andy Walz, president of Downstream, Midstream and Chemicals. “We are committed to supporting the impacted communities during this challenging time as they navigate the recovery process."

  • Fuel Relief Fund will receive $125,000 to support relief efforts throughout the impacted region
  • Team Rubicon will receive $75,000 to aid emergency response teams
  • Volunteer Florida will receive $50,000 to support volunteer mobilization and recovery efforts

In addition, Chevron will match qualifying donations employees and retirees make to hurricane relief efforts and will provide financial contributions to organizations where its employees volunteer. The aim of this collective financial assistance is to help communities in times of need.

Chevron has a large retail presence in both Florida and Georgia, supplying more than 1,600 independently owned Chevron and Texaco stations. In addition, Chevron has numerous fuel terminals throughout the two states.
