Allstate Insurance Agent Barbara J. Brown, Homewood, IL

As a volunteer with the Uplift Foundation, our team recently helped qualify the organization for an Allstate Foundation Helping Hands grant. The grant will help continue the Uplift Foundation’s efforts to offer services that work to progress our area. And to support the cause of the organization, we were honored to host its annual golf outing. We see the opportunities and challenges facing our community, which is why we feel it is important to support the Uplift Foundation.

Living in Chicagoland, I understand the opportunities and challenges facing people in our area and truly want to make a difference. This is why I’m proud to have helped secure an Allstate Foundation Helping Hands in the Community grant for Options for Youth. I support their efforts to mentor teenage mothers, and this grant will go a long way towards helping young people in and around our hometown. Giving back to my local community gives me a sense of purpose, and I’m honored to support Options for Youth’s good work.
