Westmoreland County Parks
and Recreation Citizens
Advisory Board receives $500
through the Allstate
Foundation ‘Agency Hands in
the Community’ Program.
Allstate agent, John Hynes
presented the Westmoreland
County Parks and Recreation
Citizens Advisory Board with
a $500 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 Tracey
King, Communications 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.
