Canadian Red Cross and Personal Care Products

essential services: The money will go toward helping refugees transition into their new Canadian surroundings and will fund essential services. Part of the money will also help the charity provide basic needs assistance, specifically with clothing, providing personal care products, food and family reunification efforts to refugees, according to Huffington Post Canada. The December gift follows a previous million-dollar donation the banks made to the Canadian Red Cross’ work related to the Syrian refugee crisis in September. Canadian Red Cross President and CEO Conrad Sauvé called the money much-needed support from the Bank of Montreal, CIBC, Royal Bank of Canada, Scotiabank and TD. The severity of the Syrian refugee crisis is immense, Sauvé said in a statement. The money also comes on the heels of news last week that profits reported by country six biggest banks climbed 5 per cent from 2014 to $34.88 billion this year. Canadians can follow suit with the big banks and donate money to the Canadian Red Cross at any local branch until Dec. 10. That amount of cash works out to nearly $4 million in profits made hourly.
