Allstate and The Allstate Foundation Announce Donation to Red Cross for Typhoon Haiyan Relief

November 18, 2013 /3BL Media/ - Today, Allstate and The Allstate Foundation announced plans to donate up to $100,000 to benefit victims of the storm that devastated the Philippines last weekend. The Allstate Foundation plans to provide immediate support through the American Red Cross International Services. Allstate will donate additional funds based on employee and agency owner donations and a dollar-for-dollar match. 

"The generosity of our agency owners and employees has always shone through in great times of need and this will certainly not be the exception," said Vicky Dinges, vice president of corporate responsibility at Allstate. "More than eight million people have been affected by the typhoon and I'm proud we are stepping up to assist in the recovery. Our hope is that the thousands trying to access water, food, and medicine over the next few days and weeks will get the support they need."

In addition to aiding recovery efforts within the United States, Allstate has a long history of philanthropic support for disaster recovery efforts around the world.
