Regions Bank on Wednesday announced that its annual “Share the Good” program will benefit healthcare workers in metropolitan Birmingham who are heroically helping Alabama patients and families impacted by COVID-19.
“Since the pandemic began, Regions Bank has provided significant financial support to health care organizations and other community partners. Share the Good is a way we can follow up as individual Regions associates to offer our personal appreciation for the men and women serving our communities,” stated Alan Register, market executive for Regions in metro Birmingham.
According to a release from Magic City-based Regions, Share the Good examples in the city include the following efforts:
Snacks will be delivered for personnel at Children’s of Alabama on Wednesday, Sept. 2 at 12:30 p.m. The delivery will take place in the dropoff area along the 1600 block of Fifth Avenue South.
Regions will deliver more than 200 restaurant gift cards for health care workers at UAB. The delivery will take place at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 2 outside the Spain Wallace Building at 619 19th St. S.
On Thursday, Sept. 3 at 12 noon, gifts cards and snacks will be delivered for dozens of personnel at Grandview Medical Center. The donation will take place outside the main Grandview entrance at 3690 Grandview Parkway.
At 3:45 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 3, Regions will deliver snacks and gift cards for dozens of employees of the Brookwood Baptist Health system. The donation will take place outside the main Brookwood Baptist Medical Center entrance at 2010 Brookwood Medical Center Drive.
“We are grateful to all members of the medical community who are providing treatment, care and support for patients and families during this extremely difficult time,” added Register.
This continues Regions’ strong support for coronavirus response and relief efforts. Since the spring, the company and its nonprofit Regions Foundation have allocated more than $3 million to pandemic recovery needs. Moving forward, additional funding will be issued to nonprofits and other organizations as part of a broader, $5 million commitment.
This is the 11th year Regions has organized Share the Good. In previous years, the program has delivered classroom materials for teachers, school supplies for students, snacks and meals for fire departments, and more.
Share the Good activities are taking place this week in additional cities across the Southeast, Midwest and Texas.
