We’re excited to share that today we presented Make-A-Wish Idaho with a check for $34,600 raised through our summer fundraising campaign! This incredible milestone was made possible by the generosity of our employees, agents, and sponsors.

Thanks to this support, 4-year-old Saylor’s wish to visit Hawaii with her family has come true, and we were also able to help grant the wishes of 17-year-old Kaden and 6-year-old Visalia.

It’s an honor to join Make-A-Wish Idaho in bringing hope and joy to Idaho kids who need it most. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!

As we navigate through wildfire season, here are some essential steps to help you stay prepared:

1. Use your smartphone to perform a home inventory to create a record of your belongings and store scans of important documents that you can easily access. Focus on valuable and important belongings.

2. Locate your insurance papers and put them in a safe place or upload to an online location.

3. Make sure your agent and insurance company have your current contact information.

4. Please make sure the value of your property is accurately covered in your policy.

5. For renters, consider purchasing renters’ insurance to protect your personal belongings, which are typically not covered by your landlord’s homeowners policy.

6. Consider comprehensive auto insurance, which can protect your vehicle in the event of wildfire.
