FLEMINGTON, NJ JANUARY 21, 2010 – Jarrett Farrell from Raritan Valley Insurance Services, Inc. received the Agency Hands in the
Community grant award for his commitment to volunteering in the community. The grant was awarded to SAFE in Hunterdon, the county’s
domestic and sexual abuse agency, which provides free, confidential programs and services to families in crisis.
The grant program recognizes Encompass insurance agents for outstanding community service with a $1,000 donation to a charitable
organization for which they volunteer. To qualify for the grant, agents must show evidence of volunteer work that has had a positive impact
on the local community.
SAFE in Hunterdon fits perfectly with one of The Allstate Foundation’s two primary focus areas: teen safe driving and economic
empowerment for survivors of domestic violence.
“We believe that it’s very important for businesses to take an active interest in their communities,” said Mr. Farrell. “We’re proud to support
SAFE In Hunterdon; the grant from The Allstate Foundation will provide much-needed support for its work.”
“Mr. Farrell has shown great dedication and commitment to our community through his volunteer and philanthropic efforts, said Andrea
Lovas, SAFE’s manager of donor relations and events. “We’re honored and grateful to accept this award on his behalf as we work together to
end abuse in our community.”
