Allstate Employees Partner Together for Bring Out the Good Month in Des Plaines

“At Allstate, we believe in improving lives and making communities stronger,” says Sylvia Brown, Allstate Event Leader.

Throughout April, Allstate employees and agency owners across the country volunteered their time to address pressing social needs.

Recently, Des Plaines-based Allstate employees and agency owners banded together to support the annual Autism Speaks Walk held at New Trier High School. 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 volunteerand 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 Brown. “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.”

Des Plaines Allstate employees volunteered to help set up and clean up the North Shore Walk and greeted participants at the event. In total, the event raised over $280,000.

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.
