The Alliant Insurance Services staff in Spokane has earned the 2020 Make More Happen Award for its philanthropic efforts with Northwest Harvest.

The award includes a $5,000 donation from Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance for Northwest Harvest. The award also offers an incentive to double the amount.

If their goodwill story, which is featured at agentgiving.com/alliant-insurance, is shared 500 times online, the award will increase to $10,000.

As of Wednesday, the story had been shared 471 times, well on its way to the goal.

“Supporting Northwest Harvest has been a great way for my team and I to get involved because we feel that dedicating our time and resources has really made an impact on our Spokane neighbors,” Annagrace Mosier, claims technical assistant with Alliant, said in a news release.

Mosier has worked with Northwest Harvest over the years by sponsoring food drives, volunteering her time at their facility and with her co-workers packaging meal kits in response to COVID-19, totaling 6,330 meals that were distributed throughout the Spokane community, the release said.

“We are truly grateful to Liberty Mutual and Safeco for the Make More Happen Award because it is an incredible opportunity for us to provide much needed funds to support Northwest Harvest’s important work,” Mosier said.

Due to the pandemic, a Washington state assessment has projected a near doubling of food insecurity in the state to 1.6 million.

Northwest Harvest is providing Emergency Response Boxes to families. Each box contains between 12 to 15 pounds of food.

An amount of $10,000 would be equivalent to more than 4,700 of those boxes to more than 450 families.

This year, Liberty Mutual and Safeco is donating $340,000 in Make More Happen Awards to 34 independent agents nationwidefor their volunteer efforts with nonprofits.
