Cross is providing shelter, food, health and mental health services
and other urgent basic needs to local communities as they work to
recover from the earthquakes and many aftershocks.
“Our hearts go out to Puerto Rico and the people touched by the
devastation of the earthquakes,” said Brandee McHale, president of
the Wells Fargo Foundation. “We know it’s an incredibly trying and
emotional time for the whole island. As a company, we have many
customers and employees that stand with us as we donate towards
immediate care and support in local communities.”
In addition, the Foundation is investing in rebuilding the
community of small business owners in Puerto Rico through the Wells
Fargo Diverse Community Capital program, which partners with
Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) to empower
diverse entrepreneurs to grow and create local jobs.
