Mosaic contributes $200,000 for hurricane relief

Plymouth, Minn.-The Mosaic Co. reports that it will contribute $200,000 to the American Red Cross and local disaster relief organizations designated by Florida Governor Charlie Crist and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal for hurricane relief efforts. Mosaic also said it will match employee contributions to the Red Cross. The donation follows a $50,000 contribution the company made in August to the Red Cross’s Tampa Bay region, which covers eight counties in central and southwest Florida. “Hurricane Gustav hit areas of Louisiana particularly hard, including communities where our employees and their families live and work,” said Jim Prokopanko, Mosaic’s president and CEO. “Our contribution is intended to help provide direct and rapid assistance to the victims who have been impacted most severely.” Mosaic employs approximately 3,000 in Florida and 280 in Louisiana.
