Allstate Employees Partner Together for Bring Out the Good Month in Morton Grove

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

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

Recently, Morton Grove-based Allstate employees and agency owners banded together to support the Morton Grove-based Wright Way Rescue. Together, they cleaned the facility and took care of shelter animals. 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 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 Gojdycz. “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.”

Allstate employees performed a deep clean of Wright Way Rescue. Wright Way aims to reduce the number of homeless pets euthanized in the Midwest each year. They run an adoption program, community education, spaying and neutering promotions, and a veterinary medicine program. Wright-Way Rescue has placed nearly 30,000 homeless dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens in loving homes.

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.
