Donations will support at-risk populations and
communities affected by the global spread of COVID-19
TORONTO, March 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - To support
vulnerable populations and communities, RBC has committed an
initial $2-million to COVID-19
community response efforts.
Donations will be directed to communities dealing with the
repercussions of the global health challenges posed by COVID-19 and
will be used for programs serving at-risk populations, addressing
food insecurity, scaling mental well-being support access as well
as providing other necessary services that are vital during
challenging times like these.
As a first step, RBC will be donating funds to respond to
community needs in Canada, the
U.S. and globally to charitable partners including Food Banks
Canada; Feeding America and The World Health Organization's
Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
We acknowledge that this is an evolving situation that requires
a coordinated and sustained response. RBC is actively working with
our community partners, subject matter experts, and the public and
private sectors to understand and determine where the greatest
community needs are and how to continue delivering the right
support where it's needed most.
