Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is donating $25,000 to help the Canadian Red Cross support people impacted by wild fires in British Columbia this summer.
“FCC believes in supporting the communities where our employees and customers live and work,” said Don Anderson, FCC senior vice-president of Western operations. “We go beyond our role as a strong and reliable partner in agriculture, because we truly care about the people and communities that help shape rural Canada.”
FCC’s donation is in addition to another $25,000 donation the federal Crown corporation made to the Canadian Red Cross this spring for disaster preparedness, which includes acquiring emergency supplies, volunteer recruitment and training.
“It’s not uncommon for rural communities to be impacted when natural disasters occur in Canada and we want to help – not only in the response to a natural disaster, but also in the year-round work that goes into preparing for a disaster,” Anderson said.
