Bank of America Donates $50,000 to Senior Resources

Bank of America has donated $50,000 to Senior Resources' COVID-19 Disaster Relief Fund, supporting Richland County, S.C.'s emergency response to seniors via the Emergency Senior Nutrition Program, reports ABC Columbia . The program was set up to provide any senior-age adult in Richland County with five free meals once a week during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program has fed more than 30,000 local seniors in the first few weeks following launch, and Bank of America's donation will be used to address the immediate nutrition needs of this most vulnerable demographic. "The disease itself is particularly dangerous to older adults, but so are the side effects of current economic hardship and distancing from family and friends," said Senior Resources Executive Director Andrew Boozer. "Bank of America's commitment to providing emergency needs, especially in the form of nutritious meals, is not only meeting basic needs, but it is also keeping seniors healthy during a time of uncertainty."
