Tennessee Community

Each June, State Farm associates make a concerted effort to lead volunteer projects in communities across the state. The initiative is called Good Neighbor Service Month. It began in 2007 in recognition of State Farm’s 85-year anniversary. Participating in Good Neighbor Service Month is a perfect way to bring the State Farm story to life by promoting volunteerism amongst our associates. This way, we are able to honor our founder’s vision and our company’s enduring success by demonstrating our Good Neighbor spirit.

In June 2010, over 250 State Farm associates partnered with 28 organizations and volunteered over 1,050 hours.
