Wells Fargo's donation will go to the American Red Cross, World
Central Kitchen and the United Service Organizations, which
supports American service members in Eastern Europe, according

region, World Central Kitchen, Cooperative for Assistance and
Relief Everywhere, International Medical Corps and Project Hope.
The banks also said they will match employee donations to
support relief in Ukraine.
