Allstate donates to Rescue Mission

CORTLAND -- Allstate exclusive agency owner Jason Durica, along with other local Allstate agents, recently donated $19,000 to the Rescue Mission of The Mahoning Valley. This donation will help the Rescue Mission improve its transitional program, which includes food, shelter, clothing, and overnight provisions. The Rescue Mission also offers a work force development program that assists emergency shelter clients with transportation assistance, social service casework, legal aid, and skill assistance in job search, personal financial management and household management.

In addition to this monetary donation, Durica and his Allstate team volunteered their time in the Rescue Mission kitchen. The team washed dishes and had the chance to meet with some of the Rescue Mission volunteers. "My Allstate team and I are passionate about making a difference in our local community," said Durica. "It was very rewarding to have the opportunity to assist the Rescue Mission monetarily, as well as to volunteer my time for an organization that is dedicated to helping those in need."
