PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. – Local State Farm agent, Wayne Shoemaker has a long history of demonstrating what it means to be a Good Neighbor by stepping up to help his community.

The Connection is a nonprofit organization providing structured curriculum-based programs for adults with mild and moderate developmental and cognitive disabilities.
