Access Insurance Agency staff volunteering with Bro2Go
A local nonprofit focused on assisting ex-offenders and youth is set to receive a donation, with a chance at doubling it.
Harrisburg’s Bro2Go was recently awarded a $5,000 donation from Access Insurance Agency, which serves the commonwealth.
Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance chose Access for its 2022 Make More Happen Award, recognizing the insurance agency’s volunteerism with Bro2Go and giving them the funds to support the nonprofit.
“The people associated with Bro2Go truly care about human life and making the world a better place,” said Lee Ann Ormsbee, owner of Access Insurance Agency. “We are forever grateful to receive this Make More Happen Award from Liberty Mutual and Safeco to provide Bro2Go with much needed funds to continue their impactful work.”
For the month of September, community members can visit the Make More Happen website to vote for Access and Bro2Go. If they receive 500 votes, via shares and comments on social media, by the end of the month, the donation will double to $10,000 for the nonprofit.
According to a spokesperson for Access, the funds would allow them to better support Bro2Go’s programming, including providing housing funds, work attire and other daily essentials to ex-offenders re-entering society. It would also help with purchasing school supplies and clothing for local students.
Access has maintained a relationship with Bro2Go for four years. They host monthly events to educate and provide children with resources and support a free bowling and pizza party twice a year, organized by Bro2Go, for supporters and members.
“It warms our hearts to see the endless dedication our agents have for their nonprofit partners through their volunteering, fundraising and overall awareness efforts,” said Jim Lawlor, a Safeco Insurance Mid-Atlantic Region senior territory manager. “The Make More Happen Awards allow our agents to make an even greater impact in Harrisburg and we hope it motivates others to do the same.”
