WACO, TX — The Wells Fargo Foundation is donating a total of $45,000 to United Way of Waco, Salvation Army of Waco, Neighborhood Housing Services Waco, and Caritas of Waco to support the community response to COVID-19.

The funding will help deliver critical relief by providing these organizations with more support to address food, shelter, and basic needs.

“It’s important in times of community need that we all work together,” said Babby Newland, region bank president for North Texas/Upper Brazos. “We’re grateful for the leadership of these organizations for their ability to act quickly in caring for our local residents. We hope our support provides a measure of relief as we stand with the community during this challenging situation.”

This donation is part of the $175 million in additional aid Wells Fargo announced in March to help address food, shelter, small business and housing stability, as well as provide help to public health organizations.
