“We’re proud to be able to help the communities where we operate
and call home,” said Staale Gjervik, senior vice president at
ExxonMobil Upstream Oil and Gas Company and president of XTO
Energy. “With school closures, job disruptions and health risks,
thousands of West Texans are turning to the West Texas Food Bank
for much-needed support.”
The West Texas Food Bank has been feeding families in
Midland-Odessa region and the entire West Texas area for more than
35 years. As the largest nonprofit, non-governmental hunger relief
organization in the Permian Basin, the West Texas Food Bank
distributes donated and purchased food to children, families and
seniors with help from more than 80 partner agencies. This network
provides food to individuals across 34,000 square miles of
Texas.
“We have entered an uncertain time, but we are secure in the
knowledge that our supporters are behind us,” said Libby Campbell,
executive director at the West Texas Food Bank. “The support we
have received from ExxonMobil is crucial in a time where the food
bank is having to spend extraordinary amounts of money to purchase
food. I am forever grateful for their support.”
In addition to its donation to the West Texas Food Bank,
ExxonMobil is supplying the fuels and other products that
consumers, first responders and health care workers need to address
the challenges faced by COVID-19.
ExxonMobil is helping to meet demand for important products such
as hand sanitizers, alcohol wipes and disinfectant sprays by
manufacturing a key ingredient, isopropyl alcohol, and providing it
to the customers and areas that need it most. ExxonMobil is also
working with the Global Center for Medical Innovation to design and
support the manufacturing of reusable shields and masks for health
care workers.
ExxonMobil is a founding member of the Permian Strategic
Partnership, an alliance of 19 energy companies operating in the
Permian Basin, working in partnership with community leaders to
address public education, healthcare, housing, roads and workforce
development. In 2018, ExxonMobil contributed nearly $35 million to
higher education, medical care, environmental research and arts and
civic organizations in Texas and New Mexico.
