Allstate Insurance Agent Daniel Durand, Plaquemine, LA

Helping people is at the core of what our agency does, which is why we proudly spent time assisting Dream Day Foundation. Because of our volunteerism, The Allstate Foundation provided a $16,000 Helping Hands grant to support the efforts of Dream Day Foundation to raise funds for patients at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Our team recognizes the challenges facing people in Louisiana, and we’re excited to be among many Allstate volunteers across the country caring for their communities by supporting important local causes.

By participating in a virtual food drive with other Allstate agency owners, I helped secure a $15,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands® grant for Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank. We volunteered and collected monetary donations, which will enable Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank to support local families in need and quickly respond in the event of a natural disaster. Our efforts, and those of other agency owners across seven states, will enable the work of Feeding America food bank members.

Our agency was mentioned in the Plaquemine Post South for our support of the Iberville Parish Sheriff’s holiday giveaway. More than 80 families and 200 children, ranging from infants to 12-year-olds, received donations from us and other businesses in the community. We were proud to be a part of this wonderful event.
