Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) launched its second annual Holiday Food Bank program to help feed people and families in need this holiday season Nov. 13.
Wells Fargo kicked off the program with a $4 million donation to Feeding America, the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the U.S., the company said in a news release.
The company also will match up to an additional $1 million in consumer monetary donations to Feeding America, potentially bringing Wells Fargo’s total contribution up to $5 million.
Feeding America also will help Wells Fargo collect thousands of pounds of food at bank branches and other locations and distribute them to local food banks across the U.S.
“Food insecurity is a very real issue in too many communities, and it feels even more urgent during the holidays,” Jon Campbell, president of the Wells Fargo Foundation, said in the release.
Between Nov. 13 and Dec. 31, people can join this effort by:
– Donating non-perishable goods at one of 5,700 Wells Fargo branch bank locations.
– Making a monetary donation to Feeding America through the Wells Fargo ATM or online at wellsfargo.com/foodbank. Wells Fargo credit card customers can donate Go Far rewards points in support of Feeding America or the nonprofit partner of their choice. Each $1 in rewards equals 1 point.
– Volunteering their time at one of Feeding America’s 200 member food banks around the U.S.
