Regions Bank and the Regions Foundation Launch Response for Mississippi Water Crisis

Regions Bank and the nonprofit Regions Foundation stand in support of communities affected by the water crisis in Metro Jackson and Central Mississippi.

The Regions Foundation, an Alabama based nonprofit initiative funded primarily by Regions Bank, on Friday announced a $25,000 grant to the United Way of the Capital Area in support of the Jackson Water Crisis Relief Fund. In addition, Regions Bank announced a range of special bank services to assist customers in the area who are directly impacted by the crisis.

DISASTER RELIEF

The $25,000 grant to the United Way of the Capital Area will focus on short-term relief and long-term recovery needs for people and businesses affected by recent flooding that impacted the main water treatment facility in Jackson, Mississippi, causing a multiday water outage and leaving the community without a reliable water source.

“United Way and its agency partners are doing incredible work as they rapidly respond to urgent needs due to the water crisis in Metro Jackson and Central Mississippi,” said Marta Self, executive director of the Regions Foundation. “Additional needs will develop as our communities continue to face challenges with obtaining a sufficient water supply, and the Regions Foundation will be there to support the ongoing work.”

Robert Leard, Metro Jackson market executive for Regions Bank, said the bank worked quickly to support impacted residents with disaster-recovery financial services. In addition, one of the most valuable ways the bank and foundation will make a difference, he said, is by coming together to address broader community needs.

“We are committed to serving and supporting the people and businesses in Metro Jackson and all of Mississippi currently struggling with the lack of reliable and safe water,” added Leard. “During times like this, it is especially important for us to pull together and ensure that resources are available to those who need them most. We hope that this $25,000 grant from the Regions Foundation to the United Way of the Capital Area will make a meaningful difference for people and families as we pull through this challenging time together.”
