ST. JAMES PARISH, La.,
Sept. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- The Mosaic Company Foundation announced a $50,000 contribution to the Greater Baton Rouge
Food Bank and $25,000 to Capital Area
United Way to support recovery efforts in the aftermath of the
recent, historic flooding in southern Louisiana that claimed lives and caused
significant damage to several communities.
Mosaic's contribution to the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank will
allow the organization to recover from the vast losses it
experienced as a result of the devastating flooding so that it can
reopen its doors as quickly as possible to continue to meet vital
needs in the communities it serves. Capital Area United Way
will utilize the funding to assist neighbors in St. James and Ascension Parish with short-term and long-term
relief and recovery, such as helping individuals maintain and
rebuild their homes, lives, and health.
"Mosaic cares deeply about the well-being of our employees and
local communities that were affected by the flooding in
Louisiana. We are proud to support the Greater Baton Rouge
Food Bank in its important mission to feed the hungry in our
region," said Mark Kaplan, The
Mosaic Company Foundation Board President and Vice President,
Phosphates Services. "With this financial support, the Food
Bank can begin to clean and repair its facility while continuing to
help those in need. Mosaic is likewise proud to partner with
Capital Area United Way to help our friends and neighbors in the
parishes where we live and work as they recover from the
flooding."
These contributions underscore The Mosaic Company Foundation's
commitment to building partnerships that enrich the long-term
strength of communities in which Mosaic has offices and
operations. Headquartered in Plymouth, Minn., Mosaic operates two
facilities in St. James Parish,
Louisiana.
