As the school year kicks off and routines shift into high gear, it’s the perfect time to make sure your insurance is keeping up with life’s changes. Whether you're preparing a teen for their first solo drive, managing new daily commutes, or simply settling into the rhythm of a new season, having the right auto and life insurance in place can give you the confidence you need to start the school year off on the right foot.

From ensuring your student driver is properly covered to confirming your overall auto policy fits your current needs, we’re here to help you navigate every turn. And while you're thinking ahead, it’s also a smart moment to reflect on your family’s long-term security. Life insurance is an essential part of that conversation—one that we believe is worth having year-round.

Our team is here to walk you through your coverage options, answer your questions, and help create a plan that fits your life today and grows with you into tomorrow.

Let’s work together to make this back-to-school season safe, secure, and focused on what matters most—your family’s well-being.

At Donovan Hawkes State Farm, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional customer service with a touch of Fall warmth. No matter how you choose to connect with us—whether through a phone call, text, online chat, or an in-person visit—we’ll ensure you receive the care and attention you deserve. We take pride in assisting newcomers to the South Bend community as they settle in comfortably and find the perfect Homeowners or Renters Insurance plan to fit their needs.

Our team is also licensed to provide insurance in Michigan, specifically in Berrien and Cass counties. We manage life insurance, disability, auto, business insurance, and contractor policy quotes, ensuring that our Good Neighbors have the coverage they need to embrace their aspirations.

As a proud Michiana resident, I am actively engaged in the community and participate in various events that celebrate the spirit of falltime. I have the privilege of being part of business networking groups, allowing me to assist my customers in their time of need by connecting them with other customer service-minded individuals. I also enjoy supporting students from local universities such as the University of Notre Dame, Bethel University, Indiana University South Bend, and Ivy Tech Community College. Additionally, I am a proud husband and father to two wonderful sons!

Remember, fall adventures are even more enjoyable when you know you're protected. Choose Donovan Hawkes State Farm for all your insurance needs. Contact my knowledgeable team today to discover how we can help you embrace the spirit of the upcoming fall season!
