Allstate Employees Partner Together for Bring Out the Good Month in New Orleans

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

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

Recently, New Orleans-based Allstate employees and agency owners banded together to support both the Metro Center For Women & Children and the New Orleans Mission. Volunteers helped with a variety of tasks from serving food to the homeless to providing emergency emotional support to women and their families.

This volunteer project was one of hundreds supported by nearly 13,000 Allstaters during Allstate’s annual Bring Out the Good Month. 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 Jackson. “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.”

Metropolitan Center for Women and Children offers individual and group counseling for domestic violence, sexual assault and a children’s program for the Greater New Orleans area. Over the course of two weeks, local Allstate employees, sales leaders, agency owners and staff also served food to the homeless at the New Orleans Mission.

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.
