Chevron U.S.A. Inc. today announced a contribution of $500,000 from the Chevron Global Community Fund to assist with efforts to recover from the damage done by Hurricane Michael.

"Hurricane Michael has taken a devastating toll," said Dale Walsh, president of Chevron Americas Products. "The communities will come back stronger than ever, but in the meantime, there are families who are struggling. We are making this donation to help get these families the immediate assistance they need as they put their lives back together."

The $500,000 donation will be evenly split between the American Red Cross and Volunteer Florida, Florida's lead agency for volunteers and donations before, during and after disasters. Chevron will also match any qualifying donations made to the relief efforts by its employees and retirees.

Chevron has a large marketing presence in Florida and the Gulf Coast – including supplying thousands of Chevron and Texaco-branded stations from numerous terminals throughout the region.
