CSX Corp. (NASDAQ: CSX) today announced it will contribute $200,000
to support relief and recovery efforts underway in the Florida and
South Carolina communities affected by Hurricane Ian.
“CSX cares deeply about the communities where we operate and our
thoughts are with all those in Florida and South Carolina that have
been impacted by Hurricane Ian,” said Joe Hinrichs, president and
chief executive officer of CSX. “We are pleased to make this
contribution towards recovery efforts and to ensure the delivery of
critical resources to our neighbors in these communities where so
many of our CSX employees, customers and partners call home.”
American Red Cross will receive $150,000 of the contribution to
support relief efforts throughout Florida and South Carolina, and
Florida’s Disaster Fund will receive $50,000.
Donations to the Red Cross will support the wide range of
assistance underway, including working with community and
government agencies to assess the damage and support emergency
needs. The Red Cross is providing safe shelter, food and health
services to families who lost their homes and
belongings. Florida’s Disaster Fund assists Florida’s
communities as they respond to and recover during times of
emergency or disaster by distributing funds to service
organizations in impacted communities.
CSX is also encouraging its employees to show their support by
contributing to the CSX Employees Disaster Relief Fund, which
provides financial assistance to employees who have suffered severe
damage to their homes and property. The company will match employee
contributions, dollar-for-dollar.
