Allstate agent, Mike McGinness presented The Edmonds Police Foundation with a $1000 grant as part of The Allstate Foundation’s "Agency Hands in the Community" program.

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 Megan Brunet, Corporate Relations 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.
