IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rex W. Tillerson, chairman and chief executive officer of Exxon
      Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM), today presented Interfaith
      Housing Coalition (Interfaith) with a $50,000 grant to assist the
      agency in fulfilling its mission of providing transitional housing
      assistance and ancillary services to local, working-poor families.
   


   
      ?It is an honor to support the Interfaith Housing Coalition and the
      life-changing work you do in the community,? Tillerson said today at a
      ceremony, marking the seventh time he has presented the annual
      chairman?s gift during the holiday season. ?May this gift assist in your
      continuing mission to impact the lives of those in need, especially
      during this holiday season.?
   
   
      Interfaith is the only nonprofit agency in Dallas that exclusively
      provides transitional housing for working-poor families, of which 80
      percent are made up of single mothers and their children. For more than
      25 years, Interfaith has helped stabilize homeless families by providing
      fully furnished apartments; counseling and play therapy; job-search,
      financial-literacy and life-skills training; and after-school and
      childcare programs at no cost to its clients.
   
   
      Each year, Interfaith serves approximately 100 homeless families in an
      effort to realize its mission of transitioning families from working
      poor to working class to middle class in three years.
   
   
      ?It is a blessing to receive this sizable donation from ExxonMobil,
      especially at this time of the year,? said Kimberly Williams, chief
      executive officer of Interfaith. ?With the uncertain economic
      conditions, our services are even more compelling, and there is no
      greater gift than to have a roof over your head.?
   
   
      Tillerson established the annual holiday gift of $50,000 in 2006 to
      provide assistance to a North Texas nonprofit agency during the holiday
      season. Past recipients are St. Philip?s School and Community Center,
      Lena Pope Home, Vogel Alcove, Irving Cares, the Children?s Advocacy
      Center for Denton and Presbyterian Night Shelter of Tarrant County.
