Allstate Insurance Agent Rhiannon Ward, Tucson, AZ

Y.W.C.A recently received an Allstate Foundation Helping Hands in the Community grant on behalf of agency owners in the southwest to support the organization’s efforts to help people affected by domestic violence. Our agency also participated in collecting and donating supplies to Purple Purse. 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 Center Against Domestic Abuse’s work.

Helping people is at the core of what my agency does, which is why we proudly spent time assisting Make A Wish. Because of our volunteerism, The Allstate Foundation provided a $1,000 Helping Hands grant to support the efforts of Make A Wish to help make dreams come true for children that are struggling with illness. My team recognizes the challenges facing people in Tuscon, and we’re excited to be among many Allstate volunteers across the country caring for their communities by supporting important local causes.

In an effort to support Make-A-Wish Arizona, our office is a drop-off location for new, unwrapped toys, cash to purchase a toy or gift cards. All the donated will be given to Make-A-Wish Arizona to fill gift closets at hospitals around the state. Please stop by with your donations before June 7. Thank you for assisting this valuable program!
