Bank of America says they are investing back into the community through a number of local non-profits, and say they've also donated to the AARP Foundations, Girls Scouts of Southern Arizona and Big Brothers Big Sisters—a $950,000 sum in grants donated to 26 non-profits overall. "This is traditionally one of our lightest weeks of the year for food distribution," said Chavez."We will take this time to recharge and allow our staff and volunteers to enjoy their families."
