The State Farm Story began with Mecherle's original vision for State Farm: operate fairly and do the right thing for our customers. His vision still guides us today. Our continued mission is to be the first and best choice in the products and services we provide.

Originally a single-line auto insurance company, State Farm now offers about 100 products and services, in five different lines of business. We show our commitment to our policyholders by handling nearly 36,000 claims per day. State Farm does the right thing for our customers and we do the right thing for communities.

A public leader in auto safety efforts, State Farm helped pass a number of seat belt laws and continues to fight for seat belt and teen driver safety. We are also heavily involved in and support communities through sponsorship of safety programs and organizations.

We help build strong communities through activities aimed at preventing and reducing injury and loss. State Farm supports programs that enable home ownership, help create safe neighborhoods, and make homes and highways safer.

In our communities, online and offline, through statefarm.com® or one of nearly 19,000 agent offices, State Farm is there.
