Allstate Agents earn $11,000 for Crown Point’s St. Jude House

CROWN POINT, Indiana., Nov. 30, 2017 – Allstate agency owners from Northwest Indiana area recently came together to secure an $11,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands® grant to benefit St. Jude House. The grant will support the nonprofit organization’s mission to provide quality, compassionate and effective services to those impacted by domestic violence and sexual abuse.

The agency owners earned the grant for St. Jude House by sprucing up the Crown Point shelter, which included work to arrange and clean the children’s area, organize clothing donations and improve the shelter’s outdoor spaces. St. Jude House will use the $11,000 grant to further its work in the community.

The Allstate volunteers are among thousands of agency owners around the country working to strengthen communities by volunteering their time to support the causes they care about most.

“As small business owners and community leaders, Allstate agency owners see firsthand the opportunities and challenges facing the communities they serve,” said Crown Point Allstate agency owner Eric Miller. “Giving back is core to who we are, which is why we’re proud to volunteer and raise funds to improve the lives of individuals and children affected by domestic violence in our area.”
