ABSECON, NJ (January 25, 2019) At a check presentation event Thursday, January 24th, Glenn Insurance and Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company celebrated a $2,000 donation to Avanzar (formerly The Womens Center,) an Atlantic County-based social service agency dedicated to empowering individuals and families in South Jersey by providing services for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking and other trauma.

The donation helps Avanzar serve the South Jersey community with counseling, workforce training, domestic violence services, trauma recovery and more. Glenn Insurance Executive Vice President Michael F. Thomas helped coordinate the donation from Nationwide through its specialty care services insurance program.

The services Avanzar provides to the community are essential in helping individuals move forward from violence, racism and other negativity in their lives, Glenn Insurance President Tim Glenn said. Avanzar helps people in terrible circumstances, and we are proud to support their mission and vision.

On behalf of Avanzar and the community members we serve each day, we graciously thank Glenn Insurance and Nationwide for helping to support our services and programs, Avanzar CEO Claudia Ratzlaff said. Our mission is to focus on equitable inclusiveness for members of the community. This donation helps us secure the physical safety, emotional well-being, individual freedom and economic equality for individuals and families in the community.
