Each year, thousands of volunteer hours are logged through Chevron Colorado by workers like Erin Dougherty.

Erin Dougherty, a field health and safety advisor at Chevron Colorado, has always been committed to giving back to her community, whether that’s by teaching horseback riding or by keeping people safe at work.

“I have always had a passion for helping people live their best lives,” she said.

Chevron supports numerous community organizations in Colorado.

Dougherty is not alone in her passion for working with people.

Each year, Chevron workers dedicate thousands of volunteer hours to local organizations supporting essential services, education, arts and culture, and environmental protection.

In addition, Chevron plans to contribute $125,000 to the Weld Food Bank in Greeley, Colorado. The funds will support the nonprofit’s mobile pantry, holiday meals and more. The Weld Food Bank also delivers items to the elderly and students throughout northern Colorado, thanks to the company's previous donation of a van valued at $65,000.
