Allstate Employees Support Paint Your Heart Out Tampa

Project is one of Allstate's volunteer-led efforts held across the country during Bring Out the Good Month

TAMPA, FL -- Fifteen Allstate employees and their families supported Paint Your Heart Out Tampa by painting the exterior of a home belonging to a community member in need as part of Allstate’s annual Bring Out the Good Month. The program encourages Allstate employees to volunteer for, and donate to, the causes they care about most in their local communities.

“We recognize how each of us gives back may be different, but our mission is the same — to bring out the good,” said Nataley Ellis, volunteer project coordinator, Allstate. “Bring Out the Good Month has special meaning for Allstate employees. We proudly take this time to celebrate the good we do every day to help make our communities stronger, safer and more beautiful.”

Ellis and the other volunteers assisted a Tampa resident who was unable to paint her home because of a health condition. They finished painting in several hours and were able to also help clean her yard and do other small yardwork projects. Paint Your Heart Out Tampa is a city-wide program that enables citizens, businesses, clubs and organizations to lend a helping hand to low-income, elderly and other community members in need.
