ALLSTATE FOUNDATION SUPPORTS UNITED WAY OF LONG ISLAND WITH A $10,000 HELPING HANDS GRANT

January 5, 2022 (Deer Park, NY) The Allstate Foundation recently gifted United Way of Long Island with a $10,000 Helping Hands Grant. The contribution came as a result of a team of Allstate employees initiating a volunteer project with United Way of Long Island’s Stuff-A-Bus program. 

The employees who were from multiple Allstate locations, including Lynbrook, Levittown, Farmingdale, Syosset and Melville, combined their volunteer efforts by collecting a wide range of school supplies through an online giving wish list supporting Stuff-A-Bus. Distributed to Long Island school districts, these items are critical to helping young students succeed, especially for children who come from least advantaged families.   

Allstate Exclusive Agent, Matthew Parmiter commented, “Allstate encourages agents to give back to the communities where we live and work. I’m proud to have coordinated a team of local Allstate agents to help local school children with supplies they need.”

The funding received from this grant will be allocated to United Way’s Long Island Impact Fund, further demonstrating Allstate’s commitment to neighboring families.  “Allstate’s contribution both financially and through volunteerism is a powerful way to make a difference,” said Theresa A. Regnante, President and CEO of United Way of Long Island.  She added, “We are grateful for their continued investment in programs that promote education and create positive change in our region.”  

United Way of Long Island and The Allstate Foundation are working together to provide innovative and lasting solutions to enhance Long Islanders well-being and prosperity.
