Allstate Insurance Agent Robert Newell, Farmingville, NY

Domestic violence and financial abuse affect every community in the country, including ours. As volunteers with Long Island Against Domestic Violence, we earned an Allstate Foundation Helping Hands grant of $12,000 to support the organization’s efforts to serve domestic violence survivors in our community. We’re proud to be among thousands of Allstate volunteers around the country rallying together to support domestic violence programs. Allstate Foundation Purple Purse® provides financial empowerment tools to help domestic violence survivors recover their financial independence and break free from abuse.

The Allstate Foundation is supporting survivors of domestic violence and financial abuse by seeking donations of critically needed supplies. My agency is collecting items for Long Island Against Domestic Violence. If you’d like to help, drop off requested supplies by Nov. 16. One in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. Allstate Foundation Purple Purse® is dedicated to breaking the cycle of violence through financial empowerment.

I am proud to have assisted Motivational Recovery Environments. Because I believe in the cause, I earned a $1,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands grant to help Motivational Recovery Environments to enhance the lives of children and families coping with cancer and life-threatening illness.
