FEATURED CORPORATION: WELLS FARGO
Wells Fargo Team Member Volunteer Program
Our team members are leaders. They teach money management skills, build homes, mentor youth, fundraise and serve on nonprofit boards. They learn first-hand what local issues and projects need our support, and then bring the right resources together so Wells Fargo can help. In Milwaukee, a Wells Fargo Volunteer Council was created to build connections between team members across lines of business and at different locations in the metro area - allowing us to further leverage and enhance our support for the community.

In December 2008, Wells Fargo team members worked with the Milwaukee Community Service Corps to rehab homes, to be sold to low and moderate income families. The Wells Fargo Housing Foundation provided a grant of $10,000 to the Corps, as part of the Wells Fargo Team Member Volunteer Program, in support of team members volunteering for rehab activities.
