RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dominion Energy
Charitable Foundation is donating $250,000 to the American Red Cross to aid in
relief and recovery efforts for regions in South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia that were impacted by Hurricane
Dorian. The funds will support purchase of relief supplies and
food, as well as shelter for those in need.
"The customers and communities we serve are resilient, but this
was a powerful and deadly storm," said Dominion Energy Chairman,
President and CEO Thomas F. Farrell,

partnership with the Red Cross. For those who have lost homes,
possessions and must deal with the aftermath of this storm, we hope

relief."

program that matches personal donations, dollar-for-dollar, from
eligible employees and retirees who give a minimum of $50 to a qualified non-profit. Donations to the
