Bean’s Cafe Awarded $10,000 Donation through Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance Emergency Community Support Grants

Agencies Parker, Smith & Feek, Alaska USA Insurance Brokers, and Integrity Insurance Agency assist in giving back to local communities during COVID-19 crisis

Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance announce a $10,000 donation to Bean’s Cafe – nominated by Abbie Bonney of Parker, Smith & Feek, Julia Niziolek of Alaska USA Insurance Brokers and Cori Cook of Integrity Insurance Agency, LLC- as part of an Emergency Community Support Grant to help independent insurance agents give back to their local community during the COVID-19 crisis. The donation will go directly to Bean’s Cafe, a nonprofit who exists to fight hunger for all ages, one meal at a time, while providing a pathway to self-sufficiency with dignity and respect.

“We are eternally grateful to our agency partners, friends and supporters at Parker, Smith & Feek, Alaska USA Insurance Brokers and Integrity Insurance Agency for all nominating Bean’s Cafe for this Emergency Community Support Grant,” said Lisa Sauder of Bean’s Cafe. “The $10,000 grant will allow us to feed and shelter our Anchorage neighbors who are the most at risk during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Bean’s Cafe is working to support Anchorage’s homeless and food insecure communities. They have set up two temporary homeless shelters in two large Anchorage arenas to provide a safe shelter-in-place environment, food and sanitary services to help slow the spread of COVID-19. With the indefinite closure of schools, Bean’s Cafe is also providing meals to many struggling families who are experiencing more pressure on their resources and don’t have enough food.
