New York, NY – In support of those impacted by Hurricanes Florence and Michael, Mitsubishi Chemical America, Inc. (MCA) has donated $50,000 to support the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. MCA will also be encouraging affiliates and employees to donate and support the communities in which they live and work.
“These hurricanes have had catastrophic impact on so many Americans and we’ve felt implored to help,” said Dennis Trice, the CEO of MCA. “We’re pleased that all MCA employees are safe and out of harm’s way, but we know many others aren’t as fortunate. As a United Way Partner Agency, the American Red Cross has demonstrated that they are well positioned to help with this type of disaster and we’re proud to support their efforts.”
To increase the level of impact on the communities in which we call home, each MCA affiliate is also encouraging employees to consider making personal donations to the American Red Cross, United Way or other charitable relief agencies of their choice with the goal to provide substantial assistance to most appropriate charity relief organizations.
