Our corporate volunteers kicked off the fall season of volunteering with a bang! Over 900 corporate employees volunteered through Jersey Cares in September alone. The NBA, Integra, Prudential, Fidelity and many more companies engaged their employees in service projects like STEM workshops, mural painting, bench and picnic table assembly, seasonal landscaping and more. We're looking forward to another month filled with great service projects and awesome volunteers! To learn how your company can get involved, please contact Michelle Dee. It's not too early to start planning holiday volunteer projects!

Early on a sunny Saturday morning, members of The Allstate Foundation and Jersey Cares erected a unified tent with one purpose: bringing disaster preparedness to the attendees of the Fall Harvest Festival and Craft Fair. Assembling kits with all sorts of goodies, from mini first aid kits to flashlights, and whistles to collapsible water bottles, The Allstate Foundation put some "pep" into preparation. Surrounded by iced tea stands and country music, they fit right in with their natural smiles and helpful, neighborly advice on the best uses for something as innocuous as trash bags.
Surprise, then gratefulness registered on the families' faces as they received their free swag bags and life-saving tips. This year marks the AllState Foundation's 20th year of service, and they show no signs of slowing down in their second decade of civil servitude and social improvement.
