Allstate Insurance Agent Jeremy Yancey, Merrillville, IN

Helping people is at the core of what our agency does, which is why we proudly spent time assisting the Mary M Bethune Early Child Development Center. Because of our volunteerism, The Allstate Foundation provided a $1,000 Helping Hands grant to support the efforts of offering Montessori, traditional and special education curriculum for young children. Our team recognizes the challenges facing people in our community and we’re excited to be among many Allstate volunteers across the country caring for their communities by supporting important local causes.

I was honored to be featured in the Chicago Tribune and interviewed regarding the importance of having life insurance. As a trusted Allstate advisor in the Merrillville area, I feel it is my duty to learn customers’ needs and wants on a daily basis, and this includes educating them on coverage options that will work to protect their family during an unexpected event.

I believe that helping others makes our communities stronger and healthier, which is why I am proud to have helped the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life qualify for a $7,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands in the Community grant. I support Relay for Life’s efforts to provide hope and support to those who are fighting cancer. This grant will be put to good use as Relay for Life works to take action against cancer.
