Tuesday, May 26, 2009

AllState recently donated $12,500 to the Greater Carolinas Chapter of the American Red Cross, helping to close a critical gap in disaster preparedness.

The money AllState donated:

• Will fund training for advanced training and supervisory volunteers;
  
• Provided $7,500 in assistance for residents affected by a recent 20-unit apartment fire; and
  
• Provide 150 flood clean-up kits.

Upon presenting the check to Board Chairman Mike Rash, AllState agent Jason Efland said, “We know that for disasters big and small, you guys are there.”

Rash noted that the funds come at a time when the Red Cross needs it.

“We appreciate your generosity and want you to know that the money will help people right here in our communities,” Rash said.
