Chevron Announces $500,000 for California Fire Relief Efforts

Chevron today announced a contribution of $500,000 from the Chevron Global Community Fund to the American Red Cross in support of relief efforts for California wildfires.

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 2017, the Chevron Global Community Fund donated a total of $1 million for California wildfire relief efforts.
