Esso Farm Customers Help Fuel Non-Profit Organizations In Their Communities
Esso to donate up to $475,000 to 19 farming communities
(CSRwire) Toronto, ON -- Every time farm customers in various areas of
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba purchase fuel or fertilizer from local
Esso associates this farming season, they will be making a difference in
their community.
Esso is kick-starting a new community-driven initiative called the Esso
Farm Community Growth fund, developed with the assistance of local Esso
associates in farming communities across Central and Western Canada. From
now until November 30, 2004 Esso will donate up to a penny for each litre
of delivered fuel or each tonne of fertilizer sold to 27 individual
projects in 19 communities. Each community has the potential to receive
up to $25,000.
"The goal of the Esso Farm Community Growth fund is to make a positive and
lasting impact in the communities we serve," said Fred Gowland, Industrial
Wholesale Offer Manager, Esso. "With this program, we are also able to
recognize the quiet heroes of our small towns - our Esso associates who
give of themselves both through their businesses and through their
dedication to helping improve their community."
The Esso Farm Community Growth Fund will touch many areas of community
life. Some initiatives include raising funds for: improvements to arenas
and sports facilities, equipment for fire departments, childrens
playgrounds and various health related services. In total, this program
could donate up to $475,000 in rural farming communities. For an idea of
the projects in your community, see the attached list.
Esso has been fuelling farm businesses in Canada for over 100 years and is
committed to supporting programs in the communities it serves. In 2003,
Esso, through the Imperial Oil Foundation, contributed almost $6.1 million
in support to over 400 non-profit organizations in Canada. Visit the
