The owner and CEO of Georgia-based insurance agency Old Savannah, James Grusheski, is releasing details on a charity drive he and his team have launched to help reduce poverty in the area and provide affordable homes to low income families. Statistics show that the children of homeowners are 25% more likely to graduate high school and 116% more likely to receive a 4 year degree or better from college.

“By helping local families settle down in a home they can call their own, our ultimate goal is to eradicate the cycles of poverty that keep children from completing their educations,” said Grusheski.

Thanks to the use of a referral and rewards system, the Old Savannah team has drawn in plenty of help from the local community. Grusheski has pledged to make a $10 donation toward the low income home program in the name of any person who refers a friend or loved one into Old Savannah for a no cost insurance consultation.
