Allstate Insurance Agent James Bell, Las Vegas, NV

Safe Nest recently received a $56,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands in the Community grant on behalf of agency owners in Las Vegas to support the organization’s efforts to help people affected by domestic violence. Our agency also participated in collecting and donating supplies to Safe Nest. One in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, and financial abuse is the number one reason why women stay in or return to abusive relationships. Without access to money, financial resources or even transportation, victims remain trapped. We’re committed to helping survivors in our community have the resources to get help and rebuild their lives, which is why we’re proud to support Safe Nest’s work.

We believe in making a difference in our community, and our team was thrilled to volunteer with local Allstate agents at The Henderson Police Department’s ”Every 15 Minutes” simulated car collision at Foothill High School. The Henderson Police department has been participating in the national “Every 15 Minutes” program since May 2001. The program illustrates how statistically, every 15 minutes a person dies from an alcohol-related car crash. It is our goal to transform teens into safer drivers.

It was an honor joining 22 local Allstate exclusive agency owners and hosting a community wide clothing drive benefiting Safe Nest. Safe Nest is Nevada’s largest charity devoted solely to domestic violence issues. Through our efforts we were able to secure $23,000 in grants from the Allstate Foundation and fill an entire truck with donations for families in need. Safe Nest will use the funds to help build a playground for children of domestic abuse survivors. We look forward to have more opportunities to help families in need in the future.
