LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Humana Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), announced today it will provide a $250,000 immediate grant to the American Red Cross to help the nonprofit organization deliver vital services to those affected by Hurricane Harvey.
“Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with those who are right now feeling the devastating impact of this storm,” said Humana President and CEO Bruce Broussard. “We are concerned about the storm’s potential to do further damage, and we are committed to supporting local relief efforts and helping the communities in the hurricane’s path – an area that many Humana members, associates and health care provider partners call home.”
Weather forecasters anticipate rainfall to continue for days, inundating the region and causing further damage to local communities. The American Red Cross is one of the organizations that is already mobilizing and preparing to mount a massive relief effort.
