Assistance League of Northern Virginia is pleased to recognize The Allstate Foundation for its support of the organization’s Weekend Food for Kids program with a $22,000 Helping Hands Grant. Allstate volunteers David Akers, Christine Angles, Rudolf Alston, Jose Bernal, David Bowen, Sharon Driscoll, Shelley Driscoll, Kevin Dupree, Matthew Henaghan, Joyia Lytle, Mike Mazri, Sharon Neighoff, Jason Passarell, Ricardo Paz Soldan, Christopher Ruby, Tonya Semones, Jason Sengpiehl, William Simkins, Miguel Villegas, Michael Wallach, William Waughn and Don Wright gave their time to support this program which reduces hunger in our vulnerable communities.
For more than 60 years, the Allstate Foundation has been bringing out the good in millions of lives, committing financial and human resources where they can make the most impact. Weekend Food for Kids was selected as the featured service activity for the “Feed Your Future Volunteer Relay” that took place in Washington, D.C., in October 2018. Allstate senior communication consultant, Caitlyn Barron, and Allstate exclusive agent, Christine Angles, organized the group activity and orchestrated the group grant.
“This is all beyond outstanding! We are so proud to hear that our efforts benefited some of the most vulnerable in our society - our children,” said Shaundra Turner Jones, Allstate corporate relations manager. “This impactful event has our hearts full and we look forward to being involved in many more,” she added.
