Wells Fargo Collections Help Provide 12,100 Meals Over Holidays

Wells Fargo provided 12,100 meals to Arizonans in need this season as part of its second annual Holiday Food Bank program.

Customers, community partners, and Wells Fargo team members across the Arizona joined forces during the holiday season to contribute to the food bank program. All Wells Fargo retail banking branches were equipped to be food collection sites from Nov. 13-Dec. 31.

Through canned food and monetary donations in Arizona alone, Wells Fargo helped Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization, provide more than 12,100 meals to Arizona communities. 

In total, Wells Fargo’s branches collected 14,520 pounds of goods and more than $4,900 of donations for Feeding America and its local Arizona food bank partners, which include United Food Bank, St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance and Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona. Additionally, 433 Arizona Wells Fargo team members volunteered more than 2,250 hours during the program.

Nationally, Wells Fargo collected more than 313,000 pounds and $5.1 million of donations, which enabled Feeding America to supply 55.7 million meals – enough for more than 150,000 meals a day for a year.
