Navient is giving $20,000 to support flood relief efforts across
southern Louisiana. The contribution to the American Red Cross will

the people impacted by the historic flooding in Louisiana,” said
John Kane, group president, Navient. “We’re grateful to the
Red Cross for its continued support and assistance to help local
residents during this tragedy get a safe place to stay, food to eat
and other services.”
