Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance have awarded The Miller Group a 2025 Make More Happen™ Award for its impactful partnership with Harvesters—The Community Food Network, a nonprofit dedicated to creating equitable access to nutritious food across northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri The award comes with a $5,000 donation, which can be doubled to $10,000 through online community support.

The Miller Group and Harvesters’ story is featured on the official Make More Happen microsite at https://www.agentgiving.com/miller-group, where supporters can vote to help the team unlock the full $10,000 donation. If the story receives at least 500 combined votes and comments, the $5,000 award will be doubled. The funding would provide 20,000 meals for families experiencing food insecurity across 27 counties, sustaining Harvesters’ pantries, drive-thru mobile food pantries, community kitchens, and out-of-school meals and snacks for local students.

“Supporting Harvesters has shown us how our work as insurance professionals can have a direct, meaningful impact on the community,” said Ryan Miller, a Senior Vice President, Property and Casualty Advisor at The Miller Group. “As more families than ever rely on Harvesters, supporting their work allows our agency to be there—directly and indirectly—for our neighbors during challenging times.”

Since 1997, The Miller Group has been by Harvesters’ side as their insurance provider and a committed partner in the fight against hunger. Agency staff regularly volunteer at Harvesters’ warehouse, sorting and packing food, and the team hosts annual food drives that rally the community. In 2024, they teamed up with a client in a friendly competition, raising over $11,000 and collecting 4,000 food items.

When a denied insurance claim threatened to drain Harvesters’ resources, The Miller Group stepped in and successfully fought for coverage on a costly parking lot repair. The result freed up funds that provided 48,000 meals, a powerful example of how their expertise translates into tangible community impact.

“Recognizing independent agents’ dedication to their communities and nonprofit partners is what the Make More Happen Awards are all about,” said Stephens Major, Senior Territory Manager, Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance. “The Miller Group’s deep commitment to Harvesters is a testament to the impact that can happen when local businesses and nonprofits join forces.”

Throughout 2025, Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance will select up to 36 independent agencies nationwide for a Make More Happen Award, donating up to $360,000 to nonprofits they support. Agencies become eligible for the award by submitting applications showcasing their commitment to a specific cause.
