Monsanto To Support Storm Recovery In St. Louis
April 25, 2011 As the St. Louis community works to assess damages and initialize clean-up efforts following the devastating storms that hit the area on Friday evening, Monsanto Co. pledges $100,000 to the American Red Cross to aid in early relief efforts.
Monsanto’s donation is expected to support the agency in local efforts related to the storm and provide the agency with additional flexibility as the community works to complete the assessment and clean-up process for individuals affected for this storm. The donation is also expected to support the agency’s efforts in advance of the upcoming storm season.
“St. Louis is our home and we’re doing our part to help our friends and neighbors begin the clean-up and rebuilding efforts,” said Jan Holloway, Senior Vice President of Community Relations for Monsanto. “We’re so thankful there were minimal injuries and we believe this pledge to the Red Cross can provide the agency with an initial boost to help more quickly advance their relief efforts.”
