Local Allstate agency owner Tom Medlin has received the Allstate Agency Hands in the Community Award for his commitment to helping others and community service. Because of Medlin’s outstanding volunteerism, The Allstate Foundation awarded a $1,000 grant to the Clayton Piano Festival, where he volunteers.
Allstate, its agents, and employees have a proud history of putting their good hands to work in supporting North Carolina communities, promoting volunteerism and providing financial resources to enable local organizations to help others.
