The donated funds of $89,000 will be utilized to complete the acquisition of the home used as the Cameron Women’s Shelter. Additionally, the donated funds will be used for renovations and future improvements to the facility.
"MFA Oil Company is honored to provide funding for a safe place in the community for victims of domestic violence," said Jerry Taylor, president of MFA Oil Company. "We believe in giving back to the local communities that we serve and we do that through several ways, such as our high school scholarship program, grants from the MFA Oil Foundation and donations like we are giving today."
In receiving the donation, Green Hills Community Action Agency CEO Scott Long vowed that the investment made by MFA Oil "will show its ‘return’ every time an abused woman and/or child leaves this shelter; feeling safe, feeling secure, and being empowered to take on life without fear of their abuser."
Cameron Mayor Dennis Clark provided MFA Oil President Taylor with a Proclamation passed by the City recognizing the company for their commitment to assisting the abuse shelter and being such a good corporate citizen.
