Allstate agency owners to earn grant for El Paso’s Center Against Sexual & Family Violence

EL PASO, Texas, Oct. 26, 2017 – Allstate agency owners from the El Paso-area will come together to host a supply drive and secure an Allstate Foundation Helping Hands® grant to benefit the Center Against Sexual and Family Violence. The grant will support the nonprofit organizations’ mission to confront and prevent domestic violence and sexual assault in all its forms and bring safety, support, and empowerment to survivors.

The agency owners will each earn $1,000 for the Center Against Sexual and Family Violence by collecting much-needed items during a supply drive Oct. 23 – Nov. 3. The supply drive coincides with National Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October. The public can participate by donating toiletries, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, lotion, toothpaste, toothbrushes, body wash, razors, shaving cream and baby shampoo, lotion, wipes and diapers size 3-6.

The participating Allstate volunteers are among thousands of agency owners and financial specialists 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 Roberto DeLeon, Allstate senior manager of corporate relations in Texas. “Giving back is core to who we are, which is why we’re proud to volunteer and raise funds to help domestic violence survivors in El Paso.”

The Center Against Sexual and Family Violence is one of thousands of organizations this year to receive Allstate Foundation Helping Hands grants secured by agency owners on behalf of the nonprofits where they volunteer. The grants support organizations addressing domestic violence, youth empowerment, disaster preparedness, hunger and other causes.

The Allstate Foundation Helping Hands grants are one example of The Allstate Foundation’s legacy of service and giving for communities and nonprofits across the U.S.:

• Since The Allstate Foundation was founded in 1952, it has contributed over $400 million to support community nonprofits.
• In 2016, The Allstate Foundation contributed more than $25 million to communities across the U.S.
• Each October, domestic violence nonprofits across the country participate in the Purple Purse Challenge to raise funds for financial empowerment programs for domestic violence survivors.
