Laurens – Laurens County Farm Bureau and local Farm Bureau Insurance agents are bringing a little more joy to this holiday season by helping those in the community facing financial or medical hardships.
The local office donated $1,500 to United Ministries of Clinton. This donation helps provide food, blankets, clothing and assistance with utilities or other basic needs to those who need a little extra help.
“Service to others is the rent we pay here on Earth,” Brent Branham, Farm Bureau Insurance agency manager, said. “Our Board and staff at the Laurens County Farm Bureau care about the community we serve and are happy to make the holidays brighter by assisting those who are less fortunate in our community.”
The donation is part of a company-sponsored holiday community outreach program called Farm Bureau Cares. Through Farm Bureau Cares, county Farm Bureau offices across South Carolina provide a monetary donation during December to help a family or charity of their choice. Farm Bureau Insurance matches each donation made by the local County Farm Bureau and agents.
Farm Bureau Cares donated more than $50,000 statewide to assist charities and countless individuals this holiday season.
