Wells Fargo Donates To Food Banks

Bank gives $315,000 to 28 Bay Area food banks.

Today, Wells Fargo announced it is donating $315,000 to 28 Bay Area food banks to help them bridge a gap in donations.

According to a recent San Francisco Chronicle report (http://tinyurl.com/sfchron-food), one out of 10 Bay Area households will go to a food bank this holiday season.

“Food banks are telling us—that sadly—their need for donations is greater than ever,” said Jim Foley, president of Wells Fargo’s Greater Bay Area region. “I urge those who can afford it to open their hearts and their wallets to fund food banks which are working tirelessly to feed those facing hardships.”
