Columbia food bank receives donation as part of Farm Bureau Insurance® Statewide initiative
June 1, 2020
Farm Bureau Insurance agents reprsenting the George Rogers Blvd. office in Columbia presented a check totaling $3,635.50 to The Cooperative Ministry to help meet the increased demand for assistance due to the COVID-19 crisis. The food bank is located at 3821 W Beltline Blvd, Columbia, S.C.
Agency Manager Benjamin Ryan and agents Jonathan Jeffcoat, Ben Edmonds and Taylor Fisher donated to chief executive officer, Beth Irick Wednesday, May 13.
“It was a privilege to support The Cooperative Ministry and to get a chance to see the incredible efforts their staff and volunteers are making in the community!” said Ryan. “Many families are in need, especially during this difficult time, and The Cooperative Ministry is doing so much every day to help meet those needs!”
The donation is one of many taking place across the state. Farm Bureau Insurance is donating a total of $300,000 to food banks all across South Carolina. Each Farm Bureau Insurance office is selecting a local food bank to assist in their community.
“At South Carolina Farm Bureau we are committed to serving our rural communities, and I am excited that we are able to support the food banks with this donation,” South Carolina Farm Bureau Federation and South Carolina Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company President Harry Ott said. “These food banks are a lifeline for so many and it is important for us to give back to them whenever possible, especially now in these unprecedented times.”
In addition to the statewide food bank donations, Farm Bureau Insurance announced in April that the company will provide a two-month premium credit to its personal auto insurance customers. Other assistance is also available for those impacted by the virus. For more information about the company’s COVID-19 response, visit www.SCFBIns.com/covid-19.
