McGriff Williams Insurance has been awarded $2,000 to donate to Plenty of Pit Bulls, as a participant in the Safeco Insurance® Change Agents campaign. The program rewards independent agents whose volunteer efforts make a difference in their communities and recognizes that small, everyday steps can have a big local impact.

The goal of the Safeco Change Agents program is to recognize that significant change doesn’t always require huge projects or massive time commitments. Francheska Gonzalez of McGriff Williams Insurance was one of two agents nationwide who garnered the most attention on social media for their charitable efforts related to animal welfare in order to receive the $2,000 donation from Safeco Insurance.

“Independent agents give back in all kinds of ways: As insurance professionals, they serve as trusted advisors to help people protect what matters most. As agency owners, many provide jobs and other benefits to the community,” said James Dingle, Safeco Insurance Southeast Region Territory Manager. “Safeco Change Agents recognizes the individual’s passion project to support causes and organizations that are meaningful to them.”
