TD donates $10,000 to the Canadian Red Cross to help flood victims in New Brunswick

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. 20 /CNW/ - TD Bank Group has donated $10,000 to the Canadian Red Cross to support residents affected by severe flooding in southwest New Brunswick and the Fredericton area. Many families have been forced to evacuate their homes, and many roads and bridges in the region have been severely damaged or wiped out entirely.

"The damage caused by the harsh weather has left the entire community struggling to recover," said Dan Culligan, District Vice President, TD Canada Trust, New Brunswick. "Our hope is that this donation, combined with the relief efforts of the Red Cross, will give residents the immediate support they need."

TD is directing its donation to the Canadian Red Cross to support recovery efforts as well as provide shelter and comfort stations for area residents forced out of their homes.
