In the month of April, Chevron delivered donations to several local non-profit organizations that support the community.

Chevron partnered with Dutchess County Community Action Agency’s food pantry to prepare food orders for families in need, coupled with a visit to the Dress for Success boutique.
A donation was delivered to the Blodgett Memorial Library where the former Texaco Research Center historical documents can be found. While filming in the Hudson Valley area, the crew for the series Pretty Little Liars: Summer School used a parking lot at the former Texaco Research Center as a staging area. Chevron partnered with Main Lot Productions to donate to the Beacon School District’s STEM program.
