2010

Desert Mountain Insurance employees joined together with The Hartford to create a positive impact in the lives of local children! For three weeks we collected schools supplies for the...

"Back to School Supplies Drive

As we celebrate The Hartford's 200th year, philanthropic giving and community service are a top priority. We know that our agency partners are some of the most generous and service-minded people out there, so The Hartford’s Personal Lines Team in the Mountain States Region has organized a School Supplies Drive to benefit homeless and low-income children in our communities."

We collected school supplies and hygiene products for the disadvantaged children within our community. The Hartford asked our schools’ Title 1 programs what their students need the most, and here’s what they told us:

*Tissues *Hand Sanitizer *Wipes *Calculators *Notebooks *Pens *Pencils *Markers *Rulers *Crayons *Backpacks *Ziploc Bags *Glue Sticks *Binders *Deodorant *Socks *Underwear *Toothbrushes *Toothpaste

On Friday August 6th, 2010 we delivered the collected supplies to the Phoenix Union High School District Administrative Office!

Holiday 2010

The management and employees at Desert Mountain Insurance Services decided to change things up in 2010. Instead of having their typical employee and family Holiday dinner and secret santa gift exchange, they pulled together gifts, resources and donations for a family and senior in need. Every employee participated with open hearts and truly created a joy-filled environment in the office this past year.

Adopt-A-Family (Travis L. Williams Family Service Center)

The holiday season is a time of stress and anxiety for low-income families when their budget already is stretched to pay bills. Buying gifts and decorations are a luxury few can afford. The city of Phoenix is asking individuals and groups to "adopt" a family for the holiday season. The participants' common goal is to support their families without welfare and to become self-sufficient in the near future. Last year, 400 families were assisted through the Adopt-A-Family Program.

"I should have pictures for you soon. The "Family" was so grateful - "Mom" cried as her daughter helped me take the gifts in from my truck. She expressed her thanks and stated she felt very blessed someone could be so generous." ... "Again I appreciate the generosity of you and your staff and will keep in touch with a follow up. Thanks again."

"To all of our new friend at Desert Mountain Insurance,
We all want to express our deepest gratitude for the wonderful gifts you shared with our family this Xmas. Opening your hearts and pocketbooks to complete strangers is a true expression of what this holiday is all about. I can't even begin to explain how much it meant to us, with the added problems of the accident your kindness was a blessing and brought you to a family in distress. We only hope that each of you enjoyed your holidays also. Thank you again and God Bless You All."

Adopt-A-Senior (Via Linda Senior Center)

Zachary Matz a human services representative at Via Linda, said there are two goals when it comes to holiday donations: To identify seniors and disabled persons in need of more assistance. The second is to let donors bring some joy and happiness to those who need it during the season.

"Dear Adopt-A-Senior Donor:
The 2010 Adopt-a-Senior program was even bigger than last year. You set records in every possible way. I am speechless at the generosity that all of you gave to this wonderful program. I think I was more overwhelmed than the recipients at the sight of the donations brought in. All of you deserve a bigger thank you than I can express in this letter. So, I will let one of the recipients help me to thank you.
“It is difficult to find the words to express my gratitude for your kindness. All the gifts are so perfect and beyond my greatest expectation. I live alone with my two little dogs, Taz & Lena, who are delightful with their toys…It is such a blessing to have been chosen by you and I hope you really know how much your thoughts and gifts are appreciated. You have reached out and touched the heart of a stranger with the true meaning of Christmas. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your love, caring, and generosity...”
A total of 226 seniors (197 last year) were adopted by very generous and caring people such as you. They received over $13,000 in gift cards and stamps, which is almost $3,000 more than last year. There were 48 staff members that helped me with deliveries this year. Every single one of them had chills when they saw our center filled with the phenomenal gifts you donated this year. Upon their return to the center, every one of them told me that the seniors they visited had the widest smile and the brightest eyes once they saw their gift bag. You have made a greater impact than you could possibly imagine. Many of the seniors have written thank you letters. I will be forwarding them to you in the coming week."
