Chevron U.S.A. Inc. today announced a contribution of $1 million
from Chevron and the Chevron Global Community Fund to assist with
efforts to recover from the damage done by Hurricane Irma.
“Chevron makes every effort to support the communities where we
operate, particularly in times of need,” said Dale Walsh, president
of Chevron Americas Products. “Our hearts go out to all those
affected by this storm.”
The commitment includes a $600,000 donation to the American Red
Cross from the Chevron Global Community Fund to support immediate
relief efforts throughout the impacted regions. Another $400,000 is
from Chevron’s Fuel Your School program, which would normally be
made available based on fuel sales, going to DonorsChoose.org for
local public school classroom projects in south Florida.
In addition, the company will match any donations made to the
relief efforts by its employees and retirees.
Chevron has a large retail presence in Florida, Georgia and
Alabama, supplying more than 2,000 independently-owned Chevron and
Texaco stations from a total of 17 terminals – including five
terminals owned and operated by Chevron.
The Fuel Your School program has raised a total of $2 million
since 2013 to fund public school classroom projects in Miami-Dade
County, with the support of local Chevron and Texaco marketers. In
addition to Chevron’s $400,000 contribution for 2017, another
$100,000 will be donated by local marketers. Please visit

These commitments follow Chevron’s $1 million donation to the
American Red Cross for response to Hurricane Harvey, along with
another $1 million for DonorsChoose.org. Chevron continues to stay
abreast of recovery efforts and needs assessments moving
forward.
