Established in 1899, our roots run deep within the Shrewsbury community, and so does our commitment to giving back. As we close the chapter on another year serving customers across Pennsylvania and Maryland, join us in revisiting some of the heartwarming moments and impactful initiatives we were honored to take part in this year.
$13,000 in sponsorships and support given to nonprofits, community events, and children's organizations
We believe that supporting a broad spectrum of causes allows us to nurture various aspects of our community, contributing to its overall resilience. For Keller-Brown Insurance Services, giving back is about making an impact in ways that improve our local community.
Throughout the year, we've given over $13,000 back to our local community through sponsorships and donations to 23 different community organizations. Explore some of the organizations we've supported throughout the year.
Cultivating arts and culture education
We champion organizations that foster a rich culture and creativity like DreamWrights, because a vibrant arts culture enriches our community - and inspires the next generation.
Honoring local heroes
In October, President and CEO Sarah Brown visited New Freedom VFW Post 7012 to donate $1,000 to support their new building fund.
Our commitment to those who protect and serve is always unwavering. By supporting local VFWs and fire companies, we sustain the heroes who safeguard our community.
Preserving our local environment
We support many local farms and other companies who rely on the land for their businesses. Recognizing the vital importance of a healthy environment for these clients, we actively support organizations dedicated to conservation like the Farm & Natural Lands Trust of York County. Environmental initiatives contribute to a healthier planet and support the well-being of our community.
Empowering the next generation
We're devoted to fostering a future where every child has the opportunity to thrive. Education and sports create space for essential growth. We actively contribute to local sports clubs and scholarship programs. Each year, we award $500 to a high-achieving student as part of the Sue Wagner McCoy/Keller-Brown Insurance Services Scholarship to help alleviate a small part of the financial barriers that college students face.
Partnered with top-notch insurance carriers to donate $4,000 to local nonprofits
Our team works with a variety of top-rated companies, including Erie Insurance and Donegal Insurance, to bring reliable coverage to our clients.
These carriers consider us not just clients of theirs but also valuable community partners.
That's why they partner with us to donate funds to community initiatives that are important in Pennsylvania and Maryland. This year, these contributions are especially poignant, as we directed funds to a cause close to our hearts - suicide prevention. By concentrating our efforts on Suicide Prevention of York and Building Bridges for Brianna, we strive to build a community where every individual feels seen, heard, and supported.
Rolled up our sleeves for community causes
Our commitment to the community goes beyond financial contributions. It's also about active, hands-on engagement. Throughout the year, our team got involved in the community.
You might have spotted us at the Shrewsbury Fireman's Carnival whipping up funnel cakes. Or it's possible that a member of our team stopped by your second-grader's classroom to read books about agriculture.
Right now, our ambitious coat drive for Coats of Friendship isn't just about collecting warm layers for those in need - it's about demonstrating the warmth throughout our community. Stop by our office to donate a coat and help us reach the goal of 10,000 donations collected.
What it means to work with a local, independent insurance agency
