Allstate Employees Partner Together for Bring Out the Good Month in Chantilly

Allstate employees partner with Fairfax County Park Foundation to help clean up Frog Branch Park

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

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

Recently, Chantilly-based Allstate employees and agency owners banded together with Fairfax County Park Foundation. These volunteers helped clean Frog Branch Park as part of Allstate’s annual Bring Out the Good Month.

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 Silva. “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.”

Chantilly-region employees, sales leaders, legal teams, agency owners and staff gathered and cleaned Frog Branch Park on Earth Day. The Chantilly team collected 15 bags of trash and donated $1,000 ($500 Bring Out the Good Month grant + $500 HHIC grant) to the foundation.

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.
