U.S. Bank ATMs Support Red Cross Disaster Relief

U.S. Bancorp automated teller machines are now accepting donations to help the American Red Cross with its disaster relief efforts in Washington and Oregon.

The $389 billion-asset company said that more than 500 ATMs in Washington and Oregon are supporting the organization's disaster relief efforts related to the recent wildfires hitting the West Coast.

The ATMs will accept contributions to the Red Cross through Aug. 21, U.S. Bancorp said in a Monday press release. Meanwhile, the Red Cross is also accepting $10 donations directly — those interested can text REDCROSS to: 90999.

"Thanks to the generosity of U.S. Bank, the Red Cross is able to provide food, shelter, emotional support and clean-up tools to the people affected by the Western wildfires as they work to rebuild their lives," said Neal Litvack, chief development officer at the American Red Cross, in the release.

For the last two years, U.S. Bank has donated $250,000 annually to the Red Cross. The financial institution also sets up blood donations and volunteer efforts for its employees to support the not-for-profit organization.
