74 Hurricane Recovery: Respond. Restore. Recover. Roaring onshore the Louisiana coastline in late August 2021, Hurricane Ida, impacted community members and employees from the Valero St. Charles and Meraux Refineries . Valero contributed $500,000 to agencies on the frontlines directly serving communities affected by Hurricane Ida. Valero’s contributions were divided among three agencies that serve the New Orleans and South Louisiana areas: • $250,000 to the American Red Cross in support of relief needs, including shelter, cleaning supplies and other basic necessities to those displaced from their homes; • $200,000 for the Convoy of Hope to help provide hygiene kits; and • $50,000 to Second Harvest to help provide thousands of people with meals following the storm. “Thanks to you and the employees of Valero for the donation of water and food. We appreciate Valero thinking of our community in its time of need.” - Howard Luna , St. Bernard Parish Council Member, District C “A big thank you goes to Valero for their assistance in helping get supplies – ice, water, and food – to our residents. They didn’t hesitate to donate... Valero is a great community partner to our Parish.” - Wanda Alcon , St. Bernard Parish Council Member, District D Emergency Response Efforts Tornado Response A few months later, Valero and our employees helped communities struck by tornados in Louisiana and Oklahoma. Valero’s Ardmore Refinery team members supported debris clean up and allowed responders to stage recovery efforts from their personal homes and businesses. Valero also provided funds to the American Red Cross to further support cleanup efforts across Marshall, Love and Johnson counties. Valero also provided fuel cards for residents impacted by the tornado. In Louisiana , Valero provided funds to the Greater New Orleans Foundation to support tornado relief efforts in local parishes. Working together in the Parishes where our St. Charles and Meraux refineries are located, Valero helped feed employees, contractors, emergency responders, school personnel and residents with more than 5,400 meals and hundreds of cases of bottled water. Fuel cards were also distributed to first responders and Parish officials.
