Chevron aids California fire relief efforts with American Red Cross donation.

Chevron is donating $1 million from the Chevron Global Community Fund to the American Red Cross in support of relief efforts for wildfires in Northern and Southern California.

“As a California company, we mourn the loss of life and destruction these fires have caused,” said Chevron Chairman and CEO Michael Wirth. “Our thoughts are with all our neighbors who have been affected by the fires, and we honor all those working to contain them.”

Chevron, which was founded in California in 1879 and has operations around the state, places a high priority on supporting the communities where it operates. In the last two years alone, the Chevron Global Community Fund has donated more than $2.5 million for California wildfire relief efforts.
