Republic Services Announces National Nonprofit Partners for $3 Million Small Business Revitalization Effort

Republic Services, Inc. today announced that it will partner with three national nonprofit organizations on a $3 million effort to help revitalize locally owned small businesses across America that have been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Republic Services Charitable Foundation is providing $1 million grants to longstanding partners Rebuilding Together, Habitat for Humanity International and NeighborWorks America as part of the Company's $20 million Committed to Serve initiative. "Small businesses are the economic engines of our local communities, and they are the cornerstone of strong and vibrant neighborhoods," said Jon Vander Ark, president. "Independently owned shops and restaurants have faced unprecedented challenges during this time. This support is a natural expansion of our charitable mission of restoring and revitalizing neighborhoods where we live and work to include those local businesses that serve as key staples of the community."
