🏀❤️ Sometimes, it’s more than just a basketball net.

State Farm has been working to replace basketball nets in communities across the country, making sure kids have a place to play, have fun, and make memories.

Brenda Bouwman State Farm Agency and Jake Kantola State Farm Agency decided to team up and make sure the City of Muskegon had all the new nets they needed for their parks. 🏀

It may seem like a small thing, but to a kid walking up to a basketball hoop, seeing a brand-new net and getting ready to shoot some hoops… it means a lot. ❤️

We’re so happy we could help make sure the kids of Muskegon have what they need to get out there and PLAY!

A big thank-you to the City of Muskegon Parks Department for working with us and for everything you do to keep our community’s parks welcoming and fun for everyone!

This is what being a good neighbor is all about. ❤️🏀

From the towering dunes of Sleeping Bear to the breathtaking shores of Pictured Rocks, Michigan is blessed with some of the most incredible landscapes in the country. 🌲🌊

Today is National Park Service Founders Day, and it’s a great reminder of how important it is to protect the places—and the things—we love most.

Just like we rely on the NPS to preserve our natural treasures for generations to come, having the right coverage ensures your own home, family, and future are safely guarded against the unexpected.

At our weekly meetings a team member is tasked with going over something new or different with the team and this week Becky brought us chickens 🐔🤣

🐔 What do chickens have to do with insurance? More than you’d think! 😂

Around here, we’ve learned that chickens can teach us a thing or two about insurance… so let’s talk about it! 🐔👇

🥚 Chickens lay eggs.
We help you plan ahead—because the best time to think about protecting what you have is before something happens.

🐔 Chickens stick together.
So do we! We believe in being there for our customers, not just when you need a policy, but when you need someone to answer questions, explain coverage, or help you through a claim.

🌧️ Chickens look for shelter when the weather turns bad.
Insurance is your shelter from the unexpected. You can’t control the storm, but you can make sure you’re prepared for it.

👀 Chickens are always watching.
We’re watching out for coverage gaps, changing needs, and opportunities to make sure your insurance keeps up with your life.

🐣 Chickens protect their chicks.
You protect the people you love. ❤️ That’s why life insurance is about so much more than a policy—it’s about protecting your family’s future.

😂 And sometimes chickens just run around like they have absolutely no idea what they’re doing…
Kind of like trying to figure out insurance on your own! 🤣

That’s where we come in. You bring the chickens… we’ll bring the insurance knowledge. 🐔📋

Because insurance doesn’t have to be confusing—and you shouldn’t have to figure it all out alone.

Give us a call. We’ll help you make sure your “flock” is protected! 🐔❤️

We’re happy to help with all of your insurance needs from a safe distance while the concrete cures.

Thanks for your patience, and we’ll be back to welcoming you in person as soon as it’s safe to do so. Please don’t leave your footprints… we’ll miss seeing you, but the concrete won’t! 😉

Age is just a number when you take care of yourself! ⛷️💪

Staying active and maintaining good health doesn’t just help you enjoy life—it can also have a positive impact on your insurance rates. This 77-year-old is out skiing and proving that an active lifestyle pays off in more ways than one.

Keep moving, stay healthy, and never let age define what you can do!
