Allstate Insurance Agent Brian Parker, San Marcos, TX

Our team volunteered with School Fuel San Marcos at their packing session. School Fuel organizes and provides nutritional meals for children to take home on Friday afternoons. The organization is currently serving 627 students who have little or no food at home. Each sack packed consisted of two meals and four snacks for each day of the weekend. We see firsthand the opportunities and challenges facing our area, which is why we support School Fuel’s work.

It’s back to school season and our agency was proud to help kids get excited to further their education. We hosted a supply drive that benefited the students of De Zavala Elementary School in San Marcos. The drive focused on the children whose families otherwise would not have been able to provide supplies for a successful school year. We were delighted to help!

The Cure Starts Now received a $44,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands grant in honor of our efforts to support Team Brock, named for the son of Allstate agency owner Melissa Fleming. Brock passed away in 2017 from DIPG, a rare form of pediatric brain cancer. Giving back to Austin through volunteerism is tremendously rewarding and gives our team a sense of fulfillment. We believe when we help others, our community can grow to be stronger and healthier, which is why we’re proud to support the work of The Cure Starts Now.
