A Bowling Green, Kentucky, State Farm insurance agent is putting the company’s slogan “Here to Help Life Go Right” to work by printing and delivering school homework packets for students who may not have access to printers.

Ginger Cleary, a 25-year veteran insurance agent, told The Bowling Green Daily News last week that she remembers the former classmates of her now college-age son came from households without access to a printer of their own, so she’d make her office available on weekends or after-school hours.

Facing school closures and students forced to learn at home because of the coronavirus pandemic, the memory of how this might not be feasible for some spurred Ms. Cleary to buy extra ink and paper and make the firm’s printer available to local students, according to the article.

“If you don’t have access to a printer to print out your schoolwork packets, We want to help you! ... We are all in this together!” she wrote in a recent post on her agency’s Facebook page. Her plan is to continue to provide this service by having students email their materials so she can have them printed and delivered.
