MAYFIELD, Ky., December 15, 2021 /CSRwire/ – Regions Bank on Wednesday announced a series of financial services to help people and businesses impacted by tornadoes that tore through much of the South and Midwest on the night of Dec. 10 and early morning of Dec. 11.
In addition, the Regions Foundation announced a commitment of $100,000 in grant funding for organizations providing disaster relief and long-term recovery support. The Regions Foundation is a nonprofit initiative funded primarily by Regions Bank.
Disaster Relief:
The $100,000 disaster relief commitment from the Regions Foundation will be divided among various agencies meeting short-term and long-term needs. Initial grants from the $100,000 total will include:
“One of the greatest ways we can make an impact is by supporting the agencies that know these communities best and are ready to deliver vital support,” said Marta Self, executive director of the Regions Foundation. “We appreciate the work of every relief agency, every first responder, and every community member who is working to make a difference, and we encourage other people, organizations, and businesses to consider ways they, too, can support the important relief work that’s underway.”
In addition to the grants from the Regions Foundation, associates who work at Regions Bank locations across the Mid-South are collecting supplies to help those in need. The supplies will be delivered in a coordinated manner to impacted communities in the coming days.
