Allstate Insurance Agent Bill Farmakidis, Mogadore, OH

Helping people is at the core of what our agency does, which is why we proudly spent time assisting Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary. Because of our volunteerism, The Allstate Foundation provided a $5,000 Helping Hands grant to support the efforts of Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary to rescue abandoned and neglected farm animals. Our team recognizes the challenges facing people in Northeast Ohio, and we’re excited to be among many Allstate volunteers across the country caring for their communities by supporting important local causes.

Domestic violence is an issue affecting every community in the country, including ours. I joined other Allstate agency owners in helping the Battered Women’s Shelter secure a $9,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands in the Community grant to support the organization’s efforts to help women affected by domestic violence in Summit and Medina counties. We also pitched in for a day at the shelter, and donated about 15 boxes worth of supplies collected at our agencies.
