Joshua Mercer Insurance Teams with ‘The Project I Am’ Organization in Chicago Charity Event to Benefit Underprivileged Residents
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 19, 2017 -- Joshua Mercer Insurance, a Chicago agency providing asset protection services and financial planning assistance to communities throughout northern Illinois, is joining ‘The Project I Am’ organization for a charity drive to raise awareness and support for homeless and underprivileged families in the region.
Created by 9-year-old, Jahkil Jackson, The Project I Am (TPIA) works to provide direct assistance to homeless and underserved residents of the greater Chicago area by giving away ‘Blessing Bags’ to anyone who wants one. These bags contain personal hygiene items, fresh clothes, healthy food, clean water, and more. Last year, Jahkil distributed over 1,600 Blessing Bags with the help of friends and family; this year, he’s aiming for 5,000.
“We cannot prevent all conflicts, but when we know where the hungry and the homeless exist, then we can help,” states Joshua Mercer, founder and principal agent of Joshua Mercer Insurance.
Mercer and his team are assisting Jahkil in gathering community support by mobilizing the agency’s extensive social media and email network to build connections with regional families, aid workers, and policy makers. Next, the firm will be publishing a full length article on Jahikil’s efforts in a new issue of the firm’s online magazine “Our Hometown”: http://joshuamercerinsurance.com/magazines/.
Jahkil and his TPIA organization are one of the first nonprofit groups to receive assistance from Joshua Mercer Insurance after the firm joined the national “Agents of Change” charity support network early this year. Mercer and his team are planning on working with a broad range of Chicago area charities over the months to come.
