Central Insurance and its employees are dedicated to giving back to the communities in which we live and work. Through many different programs, charities, and volunteer opportunities, Central gives of its time and resources to uphold integrity, foster relationships, and maintain excellence in our community.
Central's Home Office and Central Regional Office hold their primary fundraising campaign to benefit the United Way once a year. Last year, employees contributed $60,000, an amount Central matched for a total contribution of $120,000. Central employees also participated in the United Way Day of Caring by completing a project at Wee Care Learning Center and donating food and blood.
We're proud to support the Salvation Army in its efforts to brighten the holidays for those in need. Last year, Central employees raised $5,449 in donations, and with the company's match, we contributed $10,898 to the Angel Tree initiative. Thanks to the generosity of our employees—and a little help from 38 Central volunteer shoppers—we provided gifts to 75 children and four local families.
Over 100 Central employees serve on local civic, school, church, and non-profit boards and committees. Their commitment to fulfilling the promise extends beyond the workplace, demonstrating a genuine passion for making a positive impact in the lives of others.
Our regional offices support local charities as well. Our Northeast Regional Office gives to the United Way and contributes to agent charities and sponsorships. The Southeast Regional Office supports the United Way, Toys for Tots, and North Fulton Community Charities, an organization that helps families in the Roswell/Alpharetta area with school supplies, food, clothing, and financial assistance. The Southwest Regional Office contributes food and toys to Toys for Tots and the North Texas Food Bank. They support a local school supply drive and area women’s shelters and partner with local agencies to support a variety of charities such as the Boys & Girls Club, Cause for the Cure, and Irving Fire Department charities. Each region also assembled men’s grooming kits to donate to and support local YMCAs.
