One hundred-fifty ExxonMobil employees reported to a different
place of work as they participated in various United Way Day of
Caring activities throughout North Texas. As part of ExxonMobil's
2006 "Invest in What Matters" United Way campaign, these volunteers
engaged in nursing home activities, read books to children,
delivered food and assisted with other needs of various nonprofit
agencies on September 14. ExxonMobil has one of the largest number
of volunteers from a single corporation to participate in the
United Way Day of Caring. "Each year our employees look forward to
the Day of Caring as they work hand-in-hand with those in the
nonprofit sector and experience the positive impact of giving back
to the community," said Don Humphreys, senior vice president and
treasurer, Exxon Mobil Corporation, and ExxonMobil's United Way
Campaign Chair. "The Day of Caring not only encourages our
employees to actively contribute their time and talent, but it also
allows them to see how their financial contributions make a
difference in the way these agencies operate to help meet the
community's needs." The ExxonMobil volunteers supported the
following United Way agencies: Camp Summit, Child Care Group,
Citizens Development Center, Collin County Children's Advocacy
Center, Dallas Children's Advocacy Center, GRACE, Irving Cares,
Reading and Radio Resource, Nexus Recovery Center, St. Phillips
School and Community Center, Senior Source and Visiting Nurse
Association. In addition to assistance provided by ExxonMobil
volunteers, agencies selected for the 2006 Day of Caring will be
eligible to receive grants through the ExxonMobil Volunteer
Involvement Program. This ExxonMobil program encourages employees,
retirees and other eligible participants to actively contribute
their time and talent to nonprofit organizations by providing
contributions on the participants' behalf. Last year, the
ExxonMobil campaign raised more than $1.4 million for the United
Way in Metropolitan Dallas and Tarrant Counties. In addition,
ExxonMobil employees and retirees volunteered more than 22,600
hours in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, which resulted in $290,000 in
grants awarded to local organizations through ExxonMobil's
Volunteer Involvement Program. "Year after year, ExxonMobil
employees and retirees continue to be one of the most generous and
active groups in our community," said Gary G. Godsey, president and
chief executive officer, United Way of Metropolitan Dallas. "Their
tireless effort and commitment to the United Way and to the
community at large is greatly appreciated and applauded by all who
benefit from their contributions and goodwill." ExxonMobil is
committed to supporting community programs in cities where its
employees live and work. ExxonMobil Foundation, Exxon Mobil
Corporation, and its divisions and affiliates last year provided
$133 million in contributions worldwide, with $42 million dedicated
to education.
