Dear NABIP Members,


Our thoughts and prayers are with our NABIP friends and colleagues affected by the devastating Southern California wildfires. The road ahead will be challenging for those impacted, but as a NABIP family, we have the opportunity to extend a helping hand and make a difference during this difficult time.


The NABIP UNITE Program was created to provide immediate relief to NABIP members affected by natural disasters, enabling them to purchase essentials such as food, clothing, and temporary housing. In the aftermath of a disaster, personal belongings like debit cards, driver’s licenses, and checks are often lost, making access to basic necessities a challenge. Gift cards are an efficient and effective way to ensure our members can get what they need without delay.


Here’s how you can help:

We are asking NABIP members to donate gift cards to be distributed directly to impacted NABIP members, providing crucial support while they await federal assistance, insurance payments, or aid from organizations like the Red Cross.


We have already identified several NABIP members who have experienced total personal and business losses and are currently displaced. Although they haven’t asked for help, they could greatly benefit from your generosity. Gift cards for gas, food, hotel stays, and other essentials are the best way to offer immediate assistance.


Please send gift cards to:

On behalf of NABIP and the affected members in this region, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your support. Your compassion and generosity embody the spirit of our NABIP family, and together, we can help our colleagues and friends begin the process of rebuilding their lives.


Thank you for standing with us during this time of need.


Sincerely,
