West Bend, WI (4/17/20) - In response to COVID-19, West Bend Mutual Insurance announced efforts to help the greater community while the company gives back to its policyholders, agents and associates. “One of West Bend’s operating principles is ‘We serve our community,’ and during this uncertain time, it was without question that we would extend support to all of the people who are critical to our organization,” said Kevin Steiner, president and CEO of West Bend Mutual Insurance. “We also remain committed to our policyholders and associates and will continually look for additional ways to support them and provide the Silver Lining during this pandemic.” Steiner added the company’s COVID-19 relief efforts for charities, as well as associates, are close to $750,000 in total. Here are some of the ways West Bend is helping communities get through the COVID-19 pandemic: • Policyholders: On April 8 West Bend announced it is sending a one-time payment of $50 to Home and Highway® policyholders to provide some help in these uncertain times. These payments will be processed for those whose vehicles were insured with the company as of March 11, 2020, the date the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. In addition, the company is extending premium due dates for all policyholders impacted by the crisis and automatically provides coverage on personal vehicles used by employees of restaurants that now offer delivery services. wisconsin INDEPENDENT AGENT
