Allstate Insurance Agent Lisette M. Fernandez, Lutz, FL

As a volunteer with Metropolitan Ministries, I recently helped the organization qualify for a $30,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands in the Community grant. The grant supports Metropolitan Ministries’ efforts to help the homeless in our community. And in an effort to support the cause of the organization, I worked with them by cleaning the facility and helping in the kitchen. I see firsthand the opportunities and challenges facing our area, which is why I support Metropolitan Ministries’ work. I’m proud to be one of thousands of Allstate agency owners around the country who care for their communities by supporting important local causes.

I truly believe that helping others makes the community stronger and healthier. Through my volunteerism, I was proud to have earned the FOOT Foundation a $1,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands grant. I support its efforts to provide orthotic and prosthetic services to people of all ages in impoverished countries.
