generous support, raising over $220,000
LÉVIS, QC, May 12, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Desjardins Group is making a long-term commitment to the communities affected by the floods.
An expression of solidarity
"We can't remain indifferent to the struggles people are facing right now. We know there's a lot to do before the victims can get back to their everyday lives. So, in the spirit of solidarity, we've committed to supporting people and organizing several cleanup operations in the coming weeks with the help of volunteers in the areas where the Red Cross is deployed," said Guy Cormier, Desjardins Group Chair of the Board, President and CEO.
"We'll also be freeing up employees full time to lend a hand to the Red Cross for a month and provide human resources expertise. I strongly encourage Desjardins's employees to be generous with their time and help those in need," he added.
