Woodside Energy will contribute $50,000 to the Bayou Community
Foundation in support of relief efforts following Hurricane
Francine. The Category 2 hurricane impacted the Louisiana coast,
causing a large portion of the region to lose power and access to
basic resources.
“Our thoughts are with Louisiana and the communities impacted by
Hurricane Francine,” said Woodside Executive Vice President &
Chief Operating Officer Daniel Kalms.
“Louisiana is part of the Woodside family; we have a long
history in the state through our Gulf of Mexico operations and our
expanding footprint at Driftwood LNG in Lake Charles. We are proud
to support a strong community partner like the Bayou Community
Foundation as they provide critical relief and recovery services to
residents of Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes.”
“When disaster strikes, it requires a collaborative and
coordinated response from the public and private sectors to ensure
the most vulnerable in our region get the help they need,” said
Jennifer Armand, Executive Director of the Bayou Community
Foundation. “We are very thankful that Woodside Energy has stepped
up immediately to provide that support to help us help the people
who need it most.”
Hurricane Francine saw more than 450,000 homes lose power at its
peak with hundreds of homes flooded. In response, the Bayou
Community Foundation has established its Bayou Recovery Fund Grants
Program to fund nonprofit efforts providing critical relief and
recovery assistance to Lafourche, Terrebonne and Grand Isle
residents impacted by the storm. To learn more about Bayou
Community Foundation and its Bayou Recovery Fund, visit
