The $100,000 grant will specifically support counseling services for families, survivors and church members, and local initiatives serving vulnerable populations, youth projects, and diversity and inclusion training, with a focus on ending racism. “Wells Fargo is committed to honoring the victims, supporting their families and recognizing the efforts of the Rev. Pinckney,” said Rick Redden, Wells Fargo Lead Regional President for the Carolinas. “We want to join the City of Charleston in promoting unity and community support during this challenging time. Our team members, customers and local communities around the Carolinas have all been impacted by this tragedy.
