Caring for Our Community: Delivering Joy for Lafayette Residents

There’s no better season than the holiday season to give back to our community! Our team always wears our hearts on our sleeves, but we love to go the extra mile during the season of giving. We recently offered our volunteering services to help a Tippecanoe County elementary school and hosted our second-annual fall food drive.

The Spirit of Involvement

On November 4, 2022, our members boarded up our PuroClean trucks to make a special delivery. Matt Booth, Tyson Swinhart, and Mckinzie Remaly headed to Food Finders Food Bank to collect empty oversized food containers and deliver them to Wyandotte Elementary School for their annual food drive. Then, the students proceeded to fill the containers with donations.

Our marketing manager, Jessica Fishero, assisted with the delivery to guarantee the containers were appropriately distributed. It was a prime photo opportunity that Jessica couldn’t pass up!

Going Above and Beyond

Last year, we hosted our first-annual fall food drive; because it was such a massive success, we decided to continue the tradition this year. Our second-annual food-for-food agency contest saw local insurance agencies collect as many items as possible for the Food Finders Food Bank.

The event surpassed everyone’s expectations, with this year’s total nearly doubling last year’s capacity! We thank everyone who took the time to participate in the contest to help us raise 946 pounds for the Food Finders Food Bank. We couldn’t have done it without you!

We can officially announce the winners of the contest! In first place with 425 pounds is Ashlie Adsit of American Family Insurance. With 250 pounds collected, Jay Bluming of the Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance/West Lafayette Branch is in second place. And in third place with 50 pounds is the Mitchell Agency. We also awarded an office luncheon prize to our franchise’s insurance company, Epic Brokers Midwest. Congratulations to all of you!
