IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) will donate $500,000 to the American Red Cross and United Way for Hurricane Isaac disaster relief assistance in Louisiana and Mobile, AL.

“The flooding from the storm has been devastating, particularly in southern Louisiana,” said Steve Blume, manager, ExxonMobil Baton Rouge Refinery. “We hope that our donation to the Red Cross and United Way will help the people of Louisiana and Mobile as they recover.”

ExxonMobil’s donation is being directed to the Louisiana Capital Area Chapter Red Cross and the Capital Area United Way in Baton Rouge, the United Way of the Greater New Orleans Area, the Southeast Louisiana Chapter Red Cross and the Alabama Gulf Coast (Mobile) Chapter Red Cross.

The Red Cross provides food, shelter, counseling and other assistance to the victims of this disaster and thousands of other disasters across the country each year.

ExxonMobil employs approximately 5,000 employees and contractors in the Baton Rouge area, where it has operated refining and petrochemical manufacturing facilities for more than 100 years.

“Like so many of the residents of southeastern Louisiana, our employees are clearing debris, patching roofs and rebuilding homes following Hurricane Isaac,” said Janet Matsushita, plant manager at Chalmette Refining. “ExxonMobil’s support is making a meaningful difference in our community.”
