In a move that reeks of opportunism, Verizon Wireless has just announced that they will be donating $60,000 to the California Red Cross. The money will be used to help victims of the recent spate of wildfires. The massive disaster has affected millions, leaving a path of destruction. Verizon seems poised to respond, offering free calling to affected customers in addition to the monetary grant. It’s a thoughtful move, but given the sheer scope of the problem, $60,000 seems a bit low. Not to undermine the importance of charity during times of need, but come on Verizon…you can do a bit better, no?
