Holly’s House, a local child and adult victim advocacy center that provides services for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse in southwest Indiana, received a major gift of $50,000 from the Allstate Foundation to provide support services to survivors of Domestic Violence. Since 2006, the Allstate Foundation has contributed more than $680,000 dollars to Holly’s House.  This grant supports the collaborative services offered by Holly’s House, Albion Fellows Bacon Center and the Lampion Center. Each organization provides unique expertise. By working together, with the support of the Allstate Foundation, these organizations ensure a continuum of services is available for survivors of family violence and other intimate crimes in southwest Indiana.

Since opening its doors in September of 2008, Holly’s House has facilitated interviews for more than 3,600 adults and children while bridging connections between families and services with more than 1,700 recommendations and referrals to various community agencies each year. Holly’s House has also provided child abuse prevention education to more than 61,000 elementary school children. The agency’s services are now reaching eleven southwest Indiana counties. “We’re incredibly grateful for Allstate’s generosity and foresight in funding collaborative partnerships to meet community needs. We celebrate the many lives changed because of this partnership with both the Allstate team and our service partners at the Lampion Center and Albion Fellows Bacon Center,” states Holly’s House Executive Director, Kristine Cordts.

Since 2005, The Allstate Foundation has championed two signature causes: improving the safety of our teens on the road, and financially empowering domestic abuse survivors.  The Allstate Foundation has been bringing out the good in millions of lives. This belief has been at the core of The Allstate Foundation for more than 61 years.
