U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sargeant Dominic Fernandez stood proudly as he and his family received a new 2024 Chrysler Pacifica minivan. After serving multiple tours of combat overseas and dedicating years of service to his country, it was his time to be served. The vehicle marks the 50th payment-free vehicle donated by U.S. Bank and Freedom Alliance and the 80th vehicle donated by U.S. Bank overall since the inception of the Driven to Serve program in 2018. It also marks the 12th vehicle donated just in 2024.
U.S. Bank has a long history of supporting veterans and active military employees, customers and community members. In addition to vehicles, U.S. Bank also partners with Freedom Alliance and Operation Homefront to donate mortgage-free homes to veterans, providing stabilization for them and their families. Since 2013, U.S. Bank has donated 28 homes to veterans across the United States, with two additional home donations planned by the end of 2024. U.S. Bank has also helped fund 29 critical home repair projects for veterans since 2017.
"Our veterans and servicemembers give everything for our collective freedom. We thank them for their service and sacrifice," said Greg Cunningham, Chief Diversity Officer for U.S. Bank.
