At Farmers Union Insurance Agency, we believe in giving back, and strive to fulfill our slogan that we are “Trusted. Local. Committed.” Part of how we do this is by donating our time and talents, both as individuals and as a company, to worthy organizations within our community. Our Agents and Staff are actively involved with other organizations, community events and volunteerism.
