Allstate Insurance Agent Elizabeth Torres, El Paso, TX

Domestic violence is an issue affecting every community in the country, including ours. Allstate Foundation Purple Purse is the longest-running national campaign focused on ending domestic violence through a proven solution: financial empowerment for survivors. As a volunteer with Center Against Sexual & Family Violence through Purple Purse, my office is serving as a drop-off location for household items and toiletries until November 3. All of the items collected will be given to Center Against Sexual & Family Violence in an effort to help those in need in our community.

Helping people is at the core of what our/my agency does, which is why we proudly spent time assisting Vista Del Sol El. Because of our volunteerism, The Allstate Foundation provided a $1,000 Helping Hands grant to support the efforts of Vista Del Sol El to add benches for the children to sit on while on their lunch break. My team recognizes the challenges facing people in El Paso and we’re excited to be among many Allstate volunteers across the country caring for their communities by supporting important local causes.
