The company makes donations to the Houston
Harris County Winter Storm Relief Fund and the Houston Food
Bank.
Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) announced today it is contributing a
total of $450,000 to winter storm relief and recovery efforts
across Houston, with $250,000 going to the Houston Harris County
Winter Storm Relief Fund and $200,000 going to the Houston Food
Bank.
“We are very grateful for the organizations that stepped up and
helped millions of Houstonians who struggled to keep themselves and
their families warm and fed when the winter storm hit,” said
Phillips 66 Chairman and CEO Greg Garland. “These groups have been
on the frontline helping communities hit by the pandemic, too, and
Phillips 66 is proud to support their efforts.”
Thousands of Houstonians are still without running water two
weeks after the storm. The Houston Harris County Winter Storm
Relief Fund, established by the City of Houston and Harris County,
helps support recovery efforts. It provides grants to nonprofits
focused on plumbing and home repairs, temporary housing and other
basic needs. The fund is managed by the Greater Houston Community
Foundation and United Way of Greater Houston.
“There are so many in our community who were impacted by the
Texas severe winter storm, including many who were already
struggling from the pandemic and its economic impact,” said United
Way of Greater Houston President and CEO Amanda McMillian. “We are
incredibly grateful for Phillips 66’s generosity.”
The Houston Food Bank, the largest in the nation, serves 18
counties in the Houston area and has been a critical lifeline to
those struggling due to the pandemic. It served more than 104,000
households in January, and in February prepared and distributed
meals to shelters and warming centers during the storm.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has had an enormous impact on our
communities and now they are facing additional hardships from this
most recent disaster,” said Houston Food Bank President and CEO
Brian Greene. “This gift from Phillips 66 will provide access to
600,000 meals for people in need in our community. We thank them
for their continued support to help us provide food for better
lives.”
