The Wells Fargo Foundation is extending helping hands to victims of the wildfire of Los Angeles County by donating $25,000 to the American Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles. The wildfire, which is regarded as the largest in the modern history of the country, has destroyed more than five dozen houses.
“Wells Fargo has been a wonderful corporate benefactor,” said Paul Schulz, the American Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles’ CEO, “and we are hoping this donation will inspire others in the business community to give generously.”
The 2009 California wildfires have burned nearly 350,000 acres since August. The wildfires are still burning and have already taken the lives of two people.
“By contributing to the Red Cross,” said John Sotoodeh of Wells Fargo, “we are reaching out to help our area neighbors, friends, families and customers who were affected by the fires.”
Wells Fargo has more than 10,000 branches around the world and more than 12,000 ATMs.
