Chevron today announced a donation of $250,000 to support relief
and recovery efforts after Hurricane Milton devastated parts of
Florida. The funds will provide support for emergency teams and
volunteer efforts.
"Our thoughts are with the Florida residents as they recover
from Hurricane Milton,” said Mike Vomund, vice president of Fuel
Sales, Chevron. “We understand that reliable energy is essential to
the recovery process, and we are working to help restore fuel
supplies to the impacted area as quickly and safely as possible. We
are proud to support organizations like Fuel Relief Fund, Team
Rubicon, and Volunteer Florida as they assist Florida communities
through the recovery process.”

efforts throughout the impacted region

teams
- Volunteer Florida will receive $50,000 to support volunteer
mobilization and recovery efforts
Chevron has also donated 8,500 gallons of fuel in-kind direct
from its Panama City Terminal. This fuel will be distributed to
first responders in the impacted areas.
Earlier this month, Chevron announced a $250,000 donation to the
same organizations to support Hurricane Helene recovery efforts in
the Southeast.
Chevron will match qualifying donations employees and retirees
make to hurricane relief efforts and will provide financial
contributions to organizations where its employees volunteer. The
aim of this collective financial assistance is to help communities
in times of need.
Chevron has a large retail presence in Florida, supplying more
