Wayne Insurance Group and its employees are dedicated to giving back to our local communities. From charitable giving to volunteer participation, we are actively involved with a variety of nonprofit organizations and educational institutions that are working to improve the quality of life where we work and live. We believe that, in this era of ever-expanding technology, building relationships and inspiring excellence within our communities remains vitally important.
We encourage you to check this page periodically for recent examples of our charitable and volunteer activities.
United Way - December, 2025
Our team came together to support the local United Way Campaign, demonstrating our commitment to making a difference in our community. With United Way’s mission—to mobilize resources that help people access healthcare, food, shelter, education, and career opportunities—we were eager to do our part. Through a series of fundraising events, employee contributions, and team efforts, we were able to raise a significant amount to support local programs that provide essential services to those in need.
OneEighty Toy Drive - November, 2025
This year, our company rallied behind OneEighty families to help make the holidays brighter for children and teens. OneEighty is a trauma‑informed organization that supports individuals healing from addiction, domestic violence, sexual assault, and mental health challenges. Many of the parents we’re supporting are currently in shelter housing or residential treatment, working every day to create safer, healthier futures for their families. Through the gift collection, these parents have the chance to choose meaningful holiday gifts for their children—an experience that brings joy, dignity, and a sense of normalcy during difficult times. We’re honored to stand alongside OneEighty as they provide counseling, recovery coaching, and evidence‑based programs that empower people to thrive.
Ghoul Community Walk/Run - October, 2025
Wayne employees and family members participated in United Way’s annual Heart & Ghoul Community walk/run where all proceeds go to the local United Wayne-funded programs.
Good Works Project - October, 2025
Wayne employees participated in a sweet treat/dessert auction to help raise funds for the Akron-Canton CPCU Good Works Project.

For its Good Works Project this year, the Akron/Canton CPCU Chapter is raising funds to buy holiday gifts for children hospitalized at Akron Children’s Medical Center.

Goodwill Drive - May, 2025
In early May, Wayne employees partnered with Goodwill for a Donation Drive. Goodwill is a nonprofit social enterprise that helps people achieve their life and work goals. This may include job training and career placements; health care support that allows people to achieve their personal goals; and providing jobs directly through retail and cleaning enterprises.
Wayne County Dog Shelter - March, 2025
The Wayne County Dog Shelter put out a call for help, and our amazing employees answered! With the shelter over capacity, we came together to collect essential supplies like food, treats, blankets, cleaning supplies, and more to support the hardworking staff and volunteers caring for these dogs. We are so grateful for everyone who contributed to this effort. If you’re looking to make an even bigger impact, consider adopting or fostering a dog, or volunteering at the shelter!
