Community Involvement

The Scheiderich Agency is proud to call Buford home. Beyond insurance, we believe in investing in the people and places that make this community what it is — through local partnerships, sponsorships, and hands-on support.

Local Partnership

The foundation's program, The Bean — the Brightside Empower Ability Network — partners with local businesses to change that. The Bean trains and mentors employers, then connects them with motivated candidates who are ready to work. The Scheiderich Agency is a proud member.

Natalie, The Scheiderich Agency team member

Our Team Member

Meet Natalie

When we joined The Bean, we were introduced to Natalie. After interviewing her, we hired her to handle the social media for our office — and she's been one of the best things to happen to us.

She's brought an energy to that work that's hard to teach. She's also, simply put, the most motivated team member we've ever had. She loves coming to work, and it shows — she lights up the entire office, and our whole team looks forward to seeing her every day.

We share this for one reason: to show other business owners that hiring through The Bean isn't charity — it's a great hire. Natalie makes our business better, and there are more people like her on Brightside's waiting list right now.

I love working here at The Scheiderich Agency! Everyone in the office is so welcoming, and I love working with a team who has the same goal in mind. It has been a pleasure making The Scheiderich Agency a fun and upbeat environment to be a part of.

Local Events

Around the Community

Brightside is the heart of our community work, but it isn't the only place you'll find us. The Scheiderich Agency regularly sponsors and takes part in local events around Buford and Gwinnett County. We'll add them here as they happen.

Silver Sponsor

Buford Spring Festival

We were proud to be a Silver Sponsor of the Buford Spring Festival, presented by the Buford Business Alliance. The festival brings Buford's small businesses, families, and neighbors together along Main Street for a day of food, music, and community — and we were glad to help support it.
