Mercy School for Special Learning: Outdoor Area Project
Each Spring, HMK Insurance, an Alera Group Company participates in the Volunteer Center of the Lehigh Valley’s Volunteer Challenge Project. In 2022, HMK had the honor of partnering with Mercy School for Special Learning. Mercy School provides children and young adults with special needs the best opportunity to reach their utmost potential by providing academic, art, and life skill services and support. The school needed some assistance in updating its outdoor space. HMK removed the older wooden fence around the vegetable garden and replaced it with a vinyl fence, refinished the wooden playground train, and weather-proofed the benches in the playground area. The HMK team also held fundraisers in our office with the company matching all funds raised to make sure Mercy School did not have to take on any of the costs. The entire project was a fulfilling experience for all of us at HMK. One of the most touching experiences was being invited to lunch each day by the staff and students at Mercy School and sharing meals and laughter with them.
Stronger Together Initiative
Challenging times across our country call for individuals, companies and the community to come together even while physically staying apart. To do so, HMK Insurance and The Insurance Alliance Network have joined forces with our insurance company partners to develop the Stronger Together Initiative.
As an offering of support to both our clients and our community, our agency will patronize a local eatery/restaurant by ordering meals to be delivered to our frontline healthcare and essential workers. Now more than ever, our community restaurants need our support and what better way than to supply our essential frontline heroes with a meal from one of our own partners.
By providing nourishment and business support; we hope to uplift those who need it the most. We will make it through this because we are Stronger Together.

2019 HMK Volunteer Challenge: Easton Neighborhood Center
HMK once again participated in the Volunteer Center of the Lehigh Valley’s annual Volunteer Challenge! This year HMK partnered with The Easton Neighborhood Center which is a local non-profit that supports the community of Easton providing community outreach, food pantry services (including an urban farm which produces 6,000 pounds of fresh produce for the pantry and beyond), and a shelter for families experiencing homelessness. HMK took on a three-part project consisting of updating the kitchen at the community center, building a level path on their urban farm and a home goods drive to provide bedding, kitchen items, bath essentials, cleaning products and window dressings for families at or entering the shelter. HMK would like to thank The Easton Neighborhood Center for all they do for the community and for partnering with us for this incredible rewarding project!
HMK Clothing Drive for The Perfect Fit

Holiday Hope Chest Drive

Each staff volunteer is given a specific age range of child to focus on along with a suggested gift list from the Volunteer Center. Many of us look forward to this tradition each year because of the joy and impact it brings.
100th Anniversary Habitat Home Build

Benefits Captives: Your Business and What Your Competitors Are Doing
In one form or another, Captive Insurance has existed as a risk management solution for many decades — originally for property and casualty coverage and primarily for large employers. But its viability as a solution for employee benefits and for midsized businesses has increased dramatically in recent years, fueled by volatility in the insurance market in general and by the skyrocketing cost of health insurance in particular.
