On March 26, a cargo ship collided into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing it to collapse in the water, killing six workers. In response to this tragedy and to the disruption to local jobs, supply chains and the economy of the local region, Truist Foundation donated $25,000 to United Way of Central Maryland for the United Way’s “Bridging the Gap” fund, which will provide mid- and long-term support for eviction prevention, food access and other needs in the area.
“We’re 100% committed to helping the region recover,” said Truist Regional President Evelyn Lee. “As a Baltimore native, I’m proud that we’re showing care and compassion for our clients and communities in many different ways, including giving $25,000 to a local nonprofit organization serving impacted families.”
