MAX Insurance Teams with Oakwood Insurance to Support Pinewood PTA Holiday Shopping Night

COON RAPIDS, MN — You’ve never seen bargains like what you’ll see at the Pinewood PTA Holiday Shopping Night, and it’s all for a great cause.

Rebecca Darlington of Oakwood Insurance Agency and Secretary of the Pinewood PTA puts all of her couponing and bargain shopping skills to work each Christmas season acquiring a huge inventory of items that children at the school can purchase as gifts for their parents, siblings and other family members.  Her partner insurance provider, MAX Insurance, recently made a sizable contribution to their unique program.

“Many of our children come from financially challenged families,” Darlington said.  “This holiday shopping event gives them a chance to purchase a nice gift for a loved one at a very low price.   This allows them to enjoy the spirit of giving while helping enhance their own feelings of self-worth and accomplishment.  It’s a great program that really makes the holidays special for everyone.”

“We ran out of gift items last year, so this extra contribution from MAX will go a long-way in helping us make sure every child can purchase a special gift this year,” Darlington said.  “I’d like to thank MAX and all the other companies and people in the community who are helping make this event possible.”

“MAX is a fair, faithful and socially responsible insurance company that believes in caring beyond the contract,” said David Wine, MAX President and CEO.  “We are thrilled to help our agent, Rebecca Darlington, in this very meaningful project.”

Horizon Insurance/Hawk Insurance and MAX Fund Replacement Playground at Fairview Church of the Brethren

(CENTERVILLE, IA) – The children had barely used the new playground set at Fairview Church of the Brethren in Unionville, IA when the March 6th tornado destroyed it.  Church members had donated the money for the equipment, but now—with a damaged church roof and a high deductible policy—it was doubtful the congregation could afford another playground.

That’s when Susan Houser at Horizon and Hawk insurance shared the church’s story with one of its providers, MutualAid eXchange (“MAX”) Insurance.  MAX operates its own non-profit program called Mutual Aid Ministries which helps communities and families after unexpected financial crises.  In response to Houser’s request, MAX stepped in with $2,500 for a new playground set.

“Our agency and our people love this area and want to do our part when tragedy strikes,” Houser said.  “With MAX as our community partner, we can’t wait to get the new playground up and ready for the youth of Fairview Church.”

MAX Insurance of Overland Park, KS, is a unique fair, faithful and socially responsible insurance enterprise.  Founded on religious principles, the company’s mission is to restore wholeness to communities and individuals in need.  It lives out its mission through a variety of quality, fairly-priced insurance products, outstanding personalized customer service and its non-profit Mutual Aid Ministries (“MAM”) program.

“MAX is more than an insurance company.  We truly care beyond the contract,” said David Wine, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “That’s why we are excited to partner with Horizon and Hawk Insurance on these important projects for their communities.  We think that’s the way insurance should be.”
