Meet Misty Fraelich-Clark! 👋

💙 Supporting a mission that brings comfort when it’s needed most.
Our team was honored to support Forget-Me-Not Baskets, a Wooster-based nonprofit that provides grief support, comfort, and remembrance for families navigating loss during pregnancy or the early moments of life. Through thoughtfully prepared baskets for moms, dads, siblings, and grandparents, they help bring comfort and hope to families experiencing an incredibly difficult loss.
We’re grateful for organizations like Forget-Me-Not Baskets and the compassionate work they do for families in our communities. 💙

Throwback Thursday! 📸
We’re taking it all the way back to October 1972 with this newspaper ad from The Budget, celebrating Hummel’s 15th anniversary!
Even more special, the ad features Joe Weaver and Ben Raber, Hummel’s very first two customers.
A lot has changed since those early days, but we’re proud of the relationships and community support that have been part of our story from the very beginning. 💙

What does a Business Risk Advisor actually do?
For Tommy Brenner, it's about helping businesses manage risk, make informed decisions, and protect what they've built. Every day looks a little different, but the goal remains the same: helping clients navigate challenges and plan for the future.
Check out this week's What We Do Wednesday to learn more about Tommy's role and the impact it has on our clients and communities.

Meet Tommy Brenner! 👋
Tommy has been part of the Hummel team for 8 years and serves as a Business Risk Advisor in our commercial insurance division. When he's away from the office, you'll find him spending time with his wife and three children, enjoying the outdoors, working on their property, or maybe even playing guitar and singing karaoke. 🎸🎤
We're excited to feature Tommy in this week's Humans of Hummel spotlight and help you get to know the people behind Hummel Group.

Back on campus! 🎓💙💛
University of Akron alumni Lexy Glessner and Jordan Luhring had the chance to return to their alma mater and represent Hummel Group at the University of Akron Career Fair last week.
It was great connecting with students and sharing a little about what it’s like to be part of the Hummel team!

Building on a strong foundation. 🏗️
For this , we’re going back to 2005, when R.E. Miller Insurance Agency broke ground on a new Orrville office.
The agency was moving from its former home at 341 West Church Street to a brand-new building along Wadsworth Road/Route 57, the location our Orrville team still calls home today.
Different name. New building. And more than 20 years of history since this photo was taken! 💙

Giving back is one of the most meaningful parts of what we do.

We were honored to nominate St. Vincent Haven for a Legacy of Caring grant through the Westfield Insurance Foundation and to participate in this special presentation. The Haven's commitment to serving others is truly inspiring, and we are grateful to play a small role in supporting their mission.

Thank you to Westfield Insurance Foundation for investing in organizations that strengthen our communities.

And the blessings continue to pour! St. Vincent Haven was nominated by the Hummel Group to receive a grant through the Westfield Insurance Foundation's Legacy of Caring Program. Today, we had special visitors from the Hummel Group, along with Tom Harvey, Haven Board Emeritus. Tom shared his passion for The Haven's mission with Chad Olinger, Principal and Business Risk Advisor at the Hummel Group, and it all culminated in this check presentation. This gift will make a transformational impact. We welcome The Hummel Group and the Westfield Insurance Foundation to the St. Vincent Haven Circle of Hope. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
