Allstate Insurance Agent Damian Gobel, Portland, OR

A few Allstate agents including myself came together to support the Dream nonprofit. We supported the nonprofit by assembling 200 disaster preparedness kits this past weekend at the Allstate Foster Road Cruise-In. The kits included basic essentials to use in the event of an earthquake like: flashlights, water bottles, masks, and sanitizing wipes. Giving back to this community is one of my agency’s highest priorities, and it was truly an honor to help make a difference in someone’s life. Dream is a nonprofit organization that helps people in need find housing, food, and financial resources for budgeting and money handling education.

We are proud to have assisted Laker Softball by hosting an X the TXT® program at Lake Oswego High School. Because we believe in the cause, we earned a $6,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands grant to help Laker Softball provide a positive athletic experience for students.
