Dougherty Insurance believes that no child should have to live with hunger or homelessness, and we are launching a campaign to provide relief and support to children in our area. “We are engaging other families in our community through an invitation and rewards system, and we have managed to build a network of supporters that are working with us to offer real help to Chicago children in need,” said agency CEO Glenn Dougherty.
