Press Release: InsuranceHub Founder Jim Lloyd Honored with Community Service Award

Lawrenceville, Ga., June 23, 2017 – Jim Lloyd, founder of Lawrenceville’s InsuranceHub, was recently granted Nationwide Insurance’s Regional Community Service Award. Winners of the Regional Community Service Award have demonstrated a steadfast dedication to community service and outstanding agency performance. As a result of this honor, Nationwide Insurance will donate $1,000 to the Home of Hope at Gwinnett Children’s Shelter – Lloyd’s charity of choice. Along with the donation, Lloyd will have his photograph displayed in Nationwide Insurance’s Hall of Fame at their corporate headquarters in Columbus, Ohio.

Since its inception over 30 years ago, InsuranceHub has featured Nationwide Insurance as a major carrier. Throughout that time, Lloyd has dedicated his career to counseling customers on their insurance and financial services needs. The work that his agency does provides security for the people and things InsuranceHub clients value most – their loved ones, homes and businesses. The dedication that Lloyd has shown to his customers over the years extends to his community. “I believe in being on the constant lookout for opportunities to make a difference,” said Lloyd. “That’s why I believe so strongly in the Home of Hope at Gwinnett Children’s Shelter and the work they do.”

Lloyd dedicates much of his time to Home of Hope at Gwinnett Children’s Shelter, a local charity that offers a safe, nurturing environment to homeless children and their mothers. In addition to the food and shelter the charity provides to the families it serves, it also offers life skill classes to the mothers who reside there. The goal of the charity is to arm these families with the tools they need to become independent and give them a place to stay while they get back on their feet.

What drew the attention of Nationwide Insurance in honoring Jim Lloyd with its Regional Community Service Award was a charity event in March 2017. InsuranceHub was proud to be the title sponsor of the second annual Sip & Swine BBQ Festival, a two-day barbeque festival that raised funds for the Home of Hope at Gwinnett Children’s Shelter. Many cooking teams came out to compete in the festival’s barbecue competition, dozens of local vendors also showed their support and a number of InsuranceHub employees served as volunteers. Overall, the event had over 8,000 attendees and raised more than $50,000 – all of which benefitted the Home of Hope at Gwinnett Children’s Shelter. Lloyd and InsuranceHub have consistently supported Home of Hope at Gwinnett Children’s Shelter. In addition to his company’s sponsorship of the Sip & Swine BBQ Festival, Lloyd is proud to serve on the nonprofit organization’s board of directors.
