Allstate Insurance Agent Sean Rafferty, Brockton, MA

I recently joined other Allstate agency owners to secure a $20,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands® grant to benefit The Greater Boston Food Bank. We volunteered and collected monetary donations during a virtual food drive. Our efforts, and those of other agency owners across seven states, will enable Feeding America food bank members like The Greater Boston Food Bank to support local families in need and quickly respond in the event of a natural disaster.

Living on the South Shore, I understand the opportunities and challenges facing people in our area and truly want to make a difference. This is why I’m proud to have helped secure an Allstate Foundation Helping Hands in the Community grant for Boys & Girls Clubs of Brockton. I support their efforts to provide a space for children to engage in programs that positively impact their lives, and this grant help students in and around our hometown. Giving back to my local community gives me a sense of purpose, and I’m honored to support Boys & Girls Clubs of Brockton’s good work.

We were down on the field at halftime of the Boston College Eagles vs Virginia Tech Hokies football game on Saturday, October 7, when one fan was given the chance to attempt a 25-yard field goal. Unfortunately the kick was missed, but each of us will remember the great experience of being on the field for this special event. Allstate sponsors the field goal nets at 90 college football stadiums around the country.
