The pandemic has caused substantial need throughout the community, so State Farm decided to not sell five passenger vans and instead give them to Bloomington-Normal nonprofits.
“It s something that may not be a huge grand gesture, but finding those opportunities during a pandemic, like right now, where they have that dire need . it allows us to not just get rid of the vans in any old fashion, but actually find a way to use them for a good cause, like what these nonprofits are doing,” said State Farm spokesperson Brodie Hurtado.
Hurtado said the substantial need this year played a factor in the donations.
