Allstate Insurance Agent Frank Tinelli, Levittown, NY

Allstate agents volunteered for the Meals from the Heart program at Ronald McDonald House of Long Island. The agents bought groceries and prepared dinner for 80 residents of the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island. Residents were served chicken cutlet, spaghetti, salad and vegetables. The mission of The Ronald McDonald House of Long Island is to give comfort and shelter to families experiencing the pain of having a sick child in local hospital facilities. A “home away from home”, the House provides the parents and siblings of these children with a temporary haven in a secure and comfortable environment among other families sharing a similar burden.

Allstaters came together to volunteer and support The Shootout for Soldiers organization benefiting Long Island veterans. Funds raised during this lacrosse event were used to give a voice to local veterans and help engage the community on issues that matter to military families, and helps build bridges of understanding and empathy between military and civilian communities. The original funding goal of the Shootout for Soldiers was $50,000, but the organization raised more than $100,000 to benefit local veterans!
