Devon Bank Donate $6,000 To Little Sisters Of The Poor As They Recover From Flood Damages
The donation is intended to cover the cost of repairs needed to mainly office spaces in the building.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Early on a chilly October morning, the Little Sisters of the Poor's North Side elderly care facility sustained thousands of dollars in flood damage due to a broken sprinkler. A WGN-TV news story showed wet, crumbled ceiling tiles laying amid puddles on the floor of the facility. Devon Bank President Tom Olivieri saw this while watching the morning news and immediately knew he wanted to help.
Devon Bank made a $6,000 donation to Little Sisters of the Poor via The Loundy Charitable Foundation. The donation is intended to cover the cost of repairs needed to mainly office spaces in the building.
Cleanup is already underway and Little Sisters of the Poor's Sister Charles Patricia told WGN-TV that she was thankful no residents were displaced. Receiving Devon Bank's donation, Sister Charles Patricia said, "This donation will help us clean up, repair the damages, and get back to a fully operational mode serving the elderly poor."
The Little Sisters of the Poor have been caring for Chicago's elderly for more than 145 years—opening its first facility in the area in 1876. "Whether you've been in our community for years like the Little Sisters of the Poor, or you are brand new to it, we want you to know that Devon bank is there for you," said Olivieri.
