Last year 22 local small businesses partnered with American Insurance to make a significant donation of 1,825 lbs. of food for distribution by the Community Action Food Banks. Our goal in 2018 is at least 2,000 lbs. (a ton of thanks-giving)!  

Lewiston and Clarkston food collections will be for the Community Action Food Banks.  Moscow collections will be delivered to Palouse Cares for distribution.

“We are hoping that many more small business owners will partner with us in 2018”, said John Sullivan, President of American Insurance. “Together our local small businesses will do what we do best – show that we support the needs in our communities. Hometown businesses are the backbone of local support that helps make our communities wonderful places to live, work and raise our families.”
