Ribbon Cutting & Grand Openings

Farmers Insurance, 147 N Runnels St., DeKalb, TX 75559 ~ 903-667-3210

Jason Hawkins Agency - Farmers Insurance - held their Ribbon Cutting on September 13, 2024. Jason purchased the empty State Theater in downtown DeKalb with the vision of restoring it into his new offices while preserving the outside as the original looking State Theatre. He sure was successful!! His vison helped preserve that "Downtown" look and kept a very old landmark from being changed! His offices are beautiful.

How would you feel about having an insurance agent you can develop a relationship with? Maybe one who coaches your son’s baseball team, grew up as your next door neighbor, or shares the same alma mater as you? Here at Jason Hawkins Farmers® Insurance Agency, that’s exactly what you’ll get.

Nick's Mission Backpack Program, DeKalb, TX

Nick’s Mission Backpack Program is a 501(c)(3) non-profit children’s charity helping hungry school children in our local schools and daycare programs on weekends and school holidays. Nick’s Mission Backpack Program was founded by Tony and Barbara Shumake in memory of their precious 8-year old son, Nick Shumake, who tragically lost his life along with his grandparents in a flash flood at Albert Pike Campground on June 11, 2010.

A hungry child will receive a backpack filled with nutritious food and snacks each weekend and on school holidays, including extended holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring/Winter Break. The foods and snacks are shelf-stable and can easily be opened by the children. The empty backpacks are returned by the students and refilled each week. This is coordinated with each school so the backpacks are distributed discreetly and each child’s identity is kept confidential. Nick's Mission is designed to help families by providing the children with food in order to lessen the family's financial burden.

Our program currently provides to 9 schools and an average of 150 children each week! Such a tragic event has nurtured into an amazing program with volunteers helping each week - thanks to that beautiful DeKalb community spirit!

100% of all donations go directly to provide food for these children.
