Our Mission

MetzWood Strengthens Our Community

We believe insurance isn’t just about protecting families and businesses with reliable coverage—it’s also about carrying that same commitment into the communities we serve. From reinvesting in local nonprofits to empowering our team to give back, we work every day to create stability, opportunity, and a stronger tomorrow for the people who count on us.

We achieve our mission to strengthen the community in three key ways:

Protecting what matters most: We strengthen families and businesses by creating and maintaining customized insurance plans that provide lasting protection.

Giving back: We reinvest a portion of our revenue into local nonprofits through our community dividend, supporting the people and places we serve.

Being a great place to work: By hiring locally and investing in our people, we strengthen families, boost the local economy, and build a workplace our team is proud of.

As a community-based business, we’re dedicated to ensuring that your insurance dollars make their mark in our communities. Choosing MetzWood means the money you spend on insurance stays local, supporting community organizations, bolstering the local economy, and enhancing the quality of life for our neighbors.

Commitment to Our Community

At MetzWood, our dedication to the community extends far beyond providing exceptional services. Central to our mission is a pledge to give back through our innovative referral program and volunteer efforts. For every referral we receive, we proudly donate to a locally supported charity.

But our commitment doesn't stop there. We deeply value the personal causes our employees are passionate about. That's why we encourage and empower our team members by providing them with the opportunity to volunteer at an organization they hold dear. At MetzWood, we believe in building a stronger community through every action we take, from the services we offer to the initiatives we support.
