Chevron today announced a donation of US$250 000 to support relief and recovery efforts after Hurricane Milton devastated parts of Florida. The funds will provide support for emergency teams and volunteer efforts.
"Our thoughts are with the Florida residents as they recover from Hurricane Milton,” said Mike Vomund, Vice President of Fuel Sales, Chevron. “We understand that reliable energy is essential to the recovery process, and we are working to help restore fuel supplies to the impacted area as quickly and safely as possible. We are proud to support organizations like Fuel Relief Fund, Team Rubicon, and Volunteer Florida as they assist Florida communities through the recovery process.” Fuel Relief Fund will receive US$100 000 to support relief efforts throughout the impacted region. Team Rubicon will receive US$100 000 to aid emergency response teams. Volunteer Florida will receive US$50 000 to support volunteer mobilisation and recovery efforts.
Chevron has also donated 8500 gallons of fuel in-kind direct from its Panama City Terminal. This fuel will be distributed to first responders in the impacted areas. Earlier this month, Chevron announced a US$250 000 donation to the same organisations to support Hurricane Helene recovery efforts in the Southeast.
Chevron will match qualifying donations employees and retirees make to hurricane relief efforts and will provide financial contributions to organisations 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 Florida, supplying more than 600 independently owned Chevron and Texaco stations. In addition, Chevron has three fuel terminals in Florida.
