BEING GOOD NEIGHBORS The powerful impact that individuals can have when they come together is insurmountable. Through projects like food pantry drives, brown bag lunch assembly, work days at Feed My Starving Children, our annual Toys for Tots effort, and our Week of Kindness volunteer event, our agents and employees use their time and talents to serve others.

As good neighbors, we believe in giving back to the co m m u n iti e s we s e r ve . T h e Ko e n i g R u b l of f C a re s Foundation was established as the charitable arm of our company. Through fundraising and local volunteer work, we strive to practice kindness and improve the quality of life for all. Thanks to ongoing contributions from our generous agents and employees, and Night in Monte C arlo fundraiser, in 2016 we were able to grant more than $75,000 to these charities.
