Norfolk Southern Donates $50K to Red Cross for Derecho Recovery

NORFOLK, Va. -

The Norfolk Southern Foundation on Wednesday said it is committing $50,000 in emergency funding to the American Red Cross of West Virginia.

The funding will help West Virginians in their recovery from the tornado-like storms of June 29 that resulted in food shortages, power and water outages, and damage to critical infrastructure.

"The Red Cross recovery work in West Virginia is essential and effective," said Wick Moorman, CEO of Norfolk Southern.

"For our employees, customers, suppliers, and many friends in The Mountain State, know that your partners at Norfolk Southern are pulling for you."
