• $50,000 grant will assist Promise House with life-changing programs
  for homeless youth in Dallas
• Promise House has helped more than 75,000 youth and families since 1984
• Annual gift recognizes work of North Texas community organizations

IRVING, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Darren W. Woods, chairman and chief executive officer of Exxon
Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM), today presented a $50,000 gift to
Promise House to assist in its mission of providing critical services to
homeless children and teens in Dallas, Texas.

Established in 1984, Promise House combats youth homelessness with
unique programs that address the needs of homeless, runaway and at-risk
youth. The organization provides residential services, including
emergency shelter and long-term housing to youth in need. Promise House
programs develop critical life skills, personal responsibility and
financial independence, as well as offer a broad continuum of health,
education and counseling services.

Through its community outreach initiatives, Promise House partners with
physical and mental health care providers, state and local agencies and
schools to offer a range of services to non-residential clients in
crisis. Support includes food kits, community counseling, parent
education classes and case management.

“More than 1,200 Dallas-area youth do not have a bed to sleep in each
night,” Woods said. “Promise House helps the most vulnerable people in
our community and guides them toward a brighter, more promising future.
We are proud to support them with this year’s gift.”

“For years, ExxonMobil has been a dedicated partner in our mission to
end youth homelessness in North Texas,” said Dr. Ashley Lind, chief
executive officer of Promise House. “This gift will help us provide hot
meals, safe shelter, counseling, education services and much more to our
city’s most vulnerable young people. ExxonMobil’s support will be
critical as we expand to meet the needs of a growing number of homeless
children and teens in our community.”

Created by ExxonMobil in 2006, the annual holiday gift supports a North
Texas nonprofit in continuing their important work. Recent grant
recipients include The Gatehouse, Jonathan’s Place, ACH Child and Family
Services, Grapevine Relief and Community Exchange and Interfaith Housing
Coalition.
