Support for American Red Cross and local nonprofits will provide
shelter, other immediate assistance needs; customer support
available
As people grapple with the impact of Hurricane Ida and its
destruction, Wells Fargo is donating $350,000 from the Wells Fargo
Foundation to support relief efforts across the Southeast and
Northeast in communities that fell into Hurricane Ida’s path.
A $100,000 donation is being made to the American Red Cross,*
which is helping to provide shelter, food, water, relief supplies
and other assistance in the aftermath of the storm. The remaining
$250,000 will be donated to local organizations to help communities
with short and longer-term needs such as clean up, repairs and
rebuilding.
“We will be here for local communities as we band together to
stay resilient in the wake of Hurricane Ida,” said Nate Hurst,
president of the Wells Fargo Foundation. “Right now, there is a
need to step up for hard-hit communities, and we hope this funding
helps care for those individuals and families going through
difficult times caused by the storm.”
“Thanks to Wells Fargo’s generous support, the Red Cross,
alongside its partners, is able to shelter and support thousands of
families impacted by Hurricane Ida,” said Don Herring, chief
development officer at the American Red Cross. “We are proud to
count on partners like Wells Fargo as we work together to provide
much-needed comfort and care to help people in need.”
