Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) announced today that it will
donate $500,000 to the American Red Cross and the Greater Baton
Rouge Food Bank to support local flooding disaster relief
assistance in Louisiana.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with our friends and neighbors in
Louisiana who have been impacted by storms and severe flooding in
the region," said Rex W. Tillerson, chairman and chief
executive officer of Exxon Mobil Corporation. “We hope
that this donation will help provide some relief to
Louisianans as recovery efforts begin."
ExxonMobil employs more than 5,500 employees and
contractors in the Baton Rouge area where it has

organizations. Annually, the company donates about $5 million to
agencies and schools in the Baton Rouge area.
The Red Cross provides food, shelter, counseling and other
assistance to the victims of disasters. The agency has supported
more than 10,000 people at over 50 shelters during this response
effort. The Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank services an 11-parish
service area, provides food to 130 agencies and distributed more
