today. The grants will assist the American Red Cross-Louisiana
Region and two United Way chapters in the state - the Capital Area

critical short- and long-term support to the affected
communities.
"The flooding has had a heartbreaking impact on thousands of our
customers, neighbors and employees in Louisiana," said Janet Olson,
Baton Rouge Market President, JPMorgan Chase. "Our support will
help victims of the flooding gain access to critical resources they
need to recover and come back stronger."
Specifically, the Red Cross will receive $100,000 and the United
Way chapters will each receive $50,000. They will use this funding
to provide residents with immediate assistance such as food,
shelter, medical care and clothing, in addition to longer-term
support to help rebuild communities.

for mortgage, credit card, business banking and auto loans as well
as overdraft, ATM and monthly service fees on deposit accounts
through August. Customers can call 888.356.0023 for individual

charge a fee to use its ATMs through August. The firm has also
reopened 53 of 56 branches in the area.
