Half of the donation will be a cash contribution to the American Red Cross and the remainder will comprise eight truckloads of humanitarian supplies, such as bottled water and basic essentials to assist in the recovery.

"As so many of the communities we serve in Florida and the Southeast begin the recovery process, BB&T is honored to be a small part of the effort to help people get back on their feet," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Kelly S. King in a news release.
