Website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nCalifornia Resources Corp. recently made donations totaling $40,000 to three local organizations and the Thomas Fire Benefit Festival to provide support to families and businesses affected by the fire.<\/p>\n
\u201cCRC believes strongly in supporting our communities where we work and live,\u201d said Todd A. Stevens, CRC\u2019s President and CEO, who personally handed the relief funds to each of the three representatives and offered our support. \u201cThe wrath of the Thomas Fire impacted everyone in Ventura County \u2013 some more than others. The men and women of CRC are dedicated to assisting Ventura County as we come together to rebuild and recover.\u201d<\/p>\n
CRC presented $10,000 checks to the Ventura County League of United Latin American Citizens, the Tri-Counties Building & Construction Trades Council and the Ventura County Community Foundation. Additionally, CRC provided a $10,000 donation to sponsor the Thomas Fire Benefit Festival held in downtown Ventura.<\/p>\n
Through VC LULAC, CRC is assisting several displaced farmworker families in Santa Paula and the reconstruction of their neighborhood playground. CRC is also helping the Building & Construction Trades Council; three of its retiree members lost their homes and 30 members were displaced. The funds will assist with temporary living arrangements and supplies. The Ventura County Community Foundation created a fund dedicated to match critical services directly to fire victims\u2019 needs that may not appear right away; the CRC funds were provided for long-term relief.<\/p>\n
\u201cNever has our county seen such devastation as we have from the Thomas Fire. Likewise, we\u2019ve never seen our community\u2019s corporate sector come together with such generosity to help rebuild and heal \u2014 a process that will take years. California Resources Corp.\u2019s leadership in our community\u2019s recovery is inspirational as well as impactful. We are so grateful for their generous support,\u201d said Vanessa Bechtel, president and CEO of the Ventura County Community Foundation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1449,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-coverage"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vccf.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vccf.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vccf.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vccf.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vccf.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/vccf.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vccf.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vccf.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vccf.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vccf.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
