Local Allstate NJ Agency Presents $3,500 to Montcclair's S.O.F.I.A

Neil J. Greco, an Allstate New Jersey Insurance Company Exclusive Agent, donated a check for $3,500 to Start Out Fresh Intervention Advocates (S.O.F.I.A.). Together, The Allstate Foundation and S.O.F.I.A. raised over $15,500 for domestic violence services during its Purple Purse Challenge that recently concluded.

Allstate New Jersey agents and employees have a proud history of “putting their good hands to work in supporting New Jersey communities, promoting volunteerism and providing financial resources to enable local organizations to help others.”

S.O.F.I.A was one of nearly 140 participating organizations raising funds to help survivors recover from financial abuse. Allstate Foundation Purple Purse encourages conversation and action around the No.1 reason victims of domestic violence stay in abusive relationships—finances.

The Allstate Foundation awards more than $1 million every year to nonprofit organizations across the country in honor of dedicated Allstate agency owners who give back. To be eligible for nomination, Allstate agency owners must volunteer, mentor or lead a nonprofit of their choice.
