From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Oct. 6, our agency will participate for the third time in Pearl River Day, hosted by the Pearl River Chamber of Commerce. This event celebrates businesses and all that Pearl River offers. There will be numerous bands and disc jockeys performing, delicious foods and booths featuring businesses such as ours. We look forward to seeing all our community friends.

Domestic violence is an issue affecting every community in the country, including ours. As volunteers with Center for Safety and Change, we recently helped the organization receive a $19,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands in the Community grant to support the organization’s efforts to help women affected by domestic violence. We’re proud to be one of thousands of Allstate agencies around the country rallying together to support domestic violence programs, so they can help victims reclaim their independence.
