Allstate New Jersey agents and employees have a proud history of putting their good hands to work in supporting New Jersey communities, promoting volunteerism and providing financial resources to enable local organizations to help others.

John Paul II Polish School has a primary goal to teach the Polish language, as well as the traditions and culture of the Polish nation, to young people that live in a multilingual American society. They are also striving to reach the highest level in pedagogical work, by awakening and solidifying the national pride of the youth, and to prepare them to be loyal and creative members of Polish-American society.
The Allstate Foundation awards more than $1 million every year to nonprofit organizations across the country in honor of dedicated Allstate agency owners who give back. To be eligible for nomination, Allstate agency owners must volunteer, mentor or lead a nonprofit of their choice.
