Allstate Employees Partner Together for Bring Out the Good Month in Diamond Bar
Diamond Bar Allstate employees partner together with House of Ruth
“At Allstate, we believe in improving lives and making communities stronger,” says Lourdes Fuentes, Allstate Event Leader.
Throughout April, Allstate employees and agency owners across the country volunteered their time to address pressing social needs.
Recently, 32 Diamond Bar-based Allstate employees and agency owners banded together with House of Ruth. The Allstate volunteers’ mission was to help raise funds to help children celebrate Easter as well as support families victimized by domestic violence. The volunteer project was part of Allstate’s annual Bring Out the Good Month. Held in April, Bring Out the Good Month encourages Allstate employees to volunteer for and donate to causes they care about in their local communities.
This volunteer project was one of hundreds supported by nearly 13,000 Allstaters. Together, Allstate employees and agency owners also raised more than $7 million for more than 8,000 nonprofit organizations.
“Bring Out the Good Month has special meaning for Allstaters,” adds Fuentes. “It’s a time we can come together around the country to volunteer for the causes we’re passionate about and help staff soup kitchens, mentor youth and beautify community spaces. Supporting others is truly our purpose and it’s a source of pride for us.”
The House of Ruth has been providing life-saving domestic violence services for residents of eastern Los Angeles and western San Bernardino counties since 1977. Participation in House of Ruth programming is open to all battered women, men, and their children. All of House of Ruth’s programs are free of charge. There is no discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, age, language, disability, religion, national origin, medical condition, marital status, veteran status, or sexual orientation.
In addition to volunteering during Allstate’s Bring Out the Good Month, Allstaters are encouraged to support local nonprofits throughout the year. In 2016, Allstate employees and agency owners donated 230,000 volunteer hours and supported more than 8,800 nonprofits with monetary donations.
