Local Allstate agencies collect donations for military families and veterans

Allstate agencies in Auburn and throughout Washington, in partnership with the USO Northwest, are collecting donations to support military families and veterans, now through Friday.

Additionally, together with The Allstate Foundation, participating agencies will donate $30,000 to the USO Northwest to support its mission to keep America’s military service members connected to home.

Items of greatest need include granola bars, chewing gum, dried fruit, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap and Chapstick.

Donations can be dropped off at any of the 37 participating Allstate agencies in Washington, including Auburn’s Mike Beardsley (224 E. Main St.) and The Stenmoe Agency (1833 Auburn Way N., Suite P).
