OUR MISSION

To reduce human suffering in the wake of natural disasters and
during complex emergencies by addressing critical fuel supply and access challenges

WHO WE ARE

Ted Honcharik

FOUNDER AND CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

Ted Honcharik is the Founder and Chairman of the Board of Fuel Relief Fund (FRF) and former CEO of Pacific Tank Lines, a nation-wide, full-service petroleum carrier with customers such as Shell, Chevron, Marathon Petroleum Company, BP, Phillips 66, Unocal and other major oil companies. In 2005, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Ted began a new venture, providing free fuel for disaster-affected communities. This passion project quickly developed into what is now FRF.

With 25 years of fuel industry experience, Ted has grown FRF into an organization with global reach and forged impactful partnerships such as those with several United Nations agencies. In addition to his roles with Pacific Tank Lines and FRF, Ted is also involved with a number of other fuel industry organizations, including the California Trucking Association, Private Fleet Council, CFCA California Fuel & Convenience Alliance, Gold Coast Builders Association, and the Commercial Builders.
