Spokane Animal Rescue Gets $2K Donation

From Wheat & Associates: Wheat & Associates Insurance has been awarded $2,000 as a participant in the 2018 Safeco Insurance® Change Agents program, which rewards independent insurance agents whose volunteer efforts continue to make a difference in their communities. The award will be donated to RESCUE4ALL, a nonprofit animal rescue composed of volunteers and foster homes.

Vicky Green of Wheat & Associates Insurance was one of two agents nationwide who garnered the most attention on social media for their charitable efforts related to animal welfare in order to receive the $2,000 donation from Safeco Insurance. Agents were selected by submitting photos of their passion project, and 10 finalists were chosen. A Facebook album on the Safeco Insurance page was then created for a public voting contest. The two agents that received the most likes and comments on their photos are now recognized nationally as Change Agents.

Green from Wheat & Associates has been volunteering with Rescue4All for more than three years, helping with animals who are injured, ill or have serious medical issues. As a foster home-based rescue that takes in animals that no one else is willing or able to take in, the awarded $2,000 will contribute to the organization’s goal to secure a property sight to build an animal sanctuary. This will be a safe space serving as an intermediate for dogs to go from rescued to a loving home.

“Independent agents give back in all kinds of ways: As insurance professionals, they serve as trusted advisors to help people protect what matters most. As agency owners, many provide jobs and other benefits to the community,” said Randy Coston, Safeco Insurance Northwest Territory Manager. “The Change Agents program recognizes agent’s passion projects to support causes and organizations that are meaningful to them.”

Rescue4All helps animals that are injured, ill, have serious medical issues, genetic defects and as space allows behavioral issues; from young to old and big to small, volunteers will lend a hand and a safe place for them. To learn more or how to adopt, please visit https://www.rescue4all.org/.
