Volunteers from Wells Fargo offices in Savannah joined with the city’s Community Housing Services Agency on Saturday to landscape and paint a new home at 1118 Bates Ave., and the bank presented a $20,000 grant to help with the project.
“I can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday than serving our communities alongside our co-workers, friends and nonprofit partners,” said Jenny Gentry, Well Fargo market president. “We’re so proud of our volunteers who are supporting the selfless work of these great organizations. Sometimes individual efforts may seem small, but when we join together we can make a huge impact on our community. ”
Wells Fargo volunteers took part in 26 volunteer activities in 20 communities around the state Saturday, and the company donated $115,000 to upgrade housing for nine Georgia families by either building new homes or repairing existing ones.
