Merry Christmas

The Bonnie J. Perkins Farmers Insurance agency would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. This year, make Christmas a day to reflect on the wonderful things in life without getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays. We hope that everyone finds time to do something special time with your loved ones. We wish you safe travels, warm wishes, and of course, a very Merry Christmas. 

Salvation Army's Toyland Express

Our Christmas toy collection for the Salvation Army was a huge success! The Bonnie J. Perkins Farmers Insurance Agency would like to thank everyone who contributed to this wonderful cause. We could not have had this big of a turn out without the help and donations of our wonderful clients. We are always delighted to act as a drop off location for donated presents, but what is more heartwarming is the sight of our community joining together in an effort to spread the Christmas spirit to everyone.  Our agency believes in spreading joy all year around, and with Christmas around the corner, we believe it is especially important. With the help of our wonderful clients, we have reached our goal to collect more presents as last year. Thank you to everyone who participated, and we wish you all a very Merry Christmas. 

Salvation Army's Toyland Express

Christmas time is one of the most beloved seasons for a very important reason. It’s the season of giving, of compassion, and of charity. At Bonnie J. Perkins Farmers Insurance Agency, we want to help this spirit grow beyond our community and into the homes of those who may not be as fortunate. For many years we have been a drop off location for the Salvation Army’s Toyland Express. And, with such an amazing turn out last year, we are at it again! Our goal is to provide as many children with a present to open on Christmas day. We welcome anyone and everyone to drop by our office Thursday, November 10th through Friday, December 9th with an unwrapped gift for boys and girls between the ages of 0-17.  Help us in our efforts to reach our goal and spread the spirit of giving, compassion, and charity. From all of us at Bonnie J. Perkins Farmers Insurance Agency, we thank you for your support and donations in the previous years, and this year we hope to go above and beyond that!
