Rio Tinto's US Borax donates to support communities impacted by Los Angeles wildfires
Mining major Rio Tinto’s US Borax has donated $600 000 to three organisations to support relief efforts for communities directly impacted by the recent wildfires in Los Angeles region.
The Kern County Fire Department, Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank will each receive a donation of $200 000, the mining company has announced.
The funds will help support immediate disaster response services, including providing emergency food and supplies, as well as helping with long-term recovery efforts such as essential fire equipment replenishment and rebuilding communities affected by the fires.
"Our local communities in Los Angeles and Kern County have supported us throughout our 150-year history in California. This donation is our way to support them in return. Our local firefighters and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank are doing incredible work in response to the fires, and we are honoured to support their efforts," says US Borax COO James Low.
