Local organizations receive grants

Local Allstate agents Duaine Detrick of Portage and David Horell, Joshua Gibson and Cullen Sheehan, all of Altoona, each presented $1,000 grants to organizations they volunteer with as part of the Allstate Foundation’s “Agency Hands in the Community” program this summer.

Organizations that received grants include East Hills Recreation Commission, Portage Area Joint Recreation Commission, Altoona Public Library, Altoona Independent Youth Baseball League and Hollidaysburg Area YMCA.

The program, which began in 2003, recognizes Allstate agents’ volunteerism within the community and provides financial support to organizations through The Allstate Foundation.

Every Allstate agent who volunteers for a charitable organization in their community may qualify for this award.

“The very fabric of Allstate consists of people who care about their local community,” said Tracey King, communication manager for the Allstate Foundation.

“The ‘Agency Hands in the Community’ program is a powerful way for Allstate agents to get involved with their local nonprofits and partner with them in making their communities stronger and safer places.”

Allstate agents who are honored with an “Agency Hands in the Community” award can serve nonprofit groups in many capacities – as volunteers, mentors, program partners and leaders.

Organizations must qualify for tax-deductible contributions under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Established in 1952, The Allstate Foundation is an independent, charitable organization made possible by subsidiaries of The Allstate Corp.

Through partnerships with nonprofit organizations across the country, The Allstate Foundation brings the relationships, reputation and resources of Allstate to support innovative and lasting solutions that enhance people’s well-being and prosperity.

With a focus on building financial independence for domestic violence survivors, empowering youth and celebrating the charitable community involvement of Allstate agency owners and employees, The Allstate Foundation works to bring out the good in people’s lives.
