Communities across the United States answered the call from State Farm to submit causes that would make a positive impact in their neighborhoods. Now Redwood Empire Food Bank needs your help by voting for them to bring money to their communities.
Through August 25, anyone with a valid email address can vote for their favorite cause at www.neighborhoodassist.com to help bring a $25,000 grant to each of the top 40 vote-getters.
Two thousand submissions were received through State Farm Neighborhood Assist, a crowd-sourced philanthropic program that empowers communities to identify issues in their neighborhoods. At least one cause was received from every state. The State Farm Review Committee selected the top 200 finalists.
California has six causes in the top 200. Redwood Empire Food Bank is one of two causes in Northern California.
The 200 causes have until August 25 to rally votes and anyone voting is allowed up to 10 votes per day.
On Good Neighbor Day, September 28, the top 40 vote-receiving causes will be announced at www.neighborhoodassist.com and a $25,000 grant will be awarded to each of the affiliated nonprofits.
“Neighborhood Assist is another example of State Farm successfully turning caring into doing in communities all across the U.S.” said Kellie Clapper, State Farm Assistant Vice President. “The communities themselves play an important role in inspiring people to rally and vote for these important causes.”
For a complete list of the top 200 causes or to vote for a cause, go to www.neighborhoodassist.com starting August 16.
